A quarter of adults likely to create online health record

Twenty-seven percent of American adults say they are extremely or somewhat likely to create an online PHR to help track their medical history and medications, according to a national online survey by research firm Morpace. The company said use of online PHRs will grow as consumers become more aware of free options through Google, Microsoft, WebMD, Revolution Health, and other sources. The survey also found that age was not a factor in whether people intend to create a PHR; Americans aged 55 and up are as likely to create an online PHR as younger Americans.
