Adoption of Personal Health Records in Dutch Hospitals and Private Medical Clinics: Longitudinal Study
From 2021 to 2023, PHR adoption improved in general hospitals, academic hospitals, and private medical clinics in the Netherlands within several domains of PHR adoption. However, several barriers remained, including technical barriers, financial constraints, and privacy and security concerns. To overcome these barriers, the technical integration of available data from the electronic health record within the PHR should be improved and privacy-related issues should be resolved. Consistent communication about the potential of PHRs is required to increase the awareness that will enhance both PHR engagement and adoption by the target groups, patients, and health care professionals.
