Background: Contemporary personal health record (PHR) technologies offer a useful platform for individuals to maintain a lifelong record of personally reported and clinically sourced data from various points of medical care. Objective: This paper presents an integrative review and synthesis of the extant literature on PHRs. This review draws upon multiple lenses of analysis and deliberates value perspectives of PHRs at the product, consumer, and industry levels. Methods: Academic databases were searched using multiple keywords related to PHRs for the years 2001-2020. Three research questions were formulated and used as selection criteria in our review of the extant literature relevant to our study. Results: We offer a high-level functional utility model of PHR features and functions. We also conceptualize a consumer value framework of PHRs, highlighting the applications of these technologies across various health care delivery activities. Finally, we provide a summary of the benefits of PHRs for various health care constituents, including consumers, providers, payors, and public health agencies. Conclusions: PHR products offer a myriad of content-, connectivity-, and collaboration-based features and functions for their users. Although consumers benefit from the tools provided by PHR technologies, their overall value extends across the constituents of the health care delivery chain. Despite advances in technology, our literature review identifies a shortfall in the research addressing consumer value enabled by PHR tools. In addition to scholars and researchers, our literature review and proposed framework may be especially helpful for value analysis committees in the health care sector that are commissioned for the appraisal of innovative health information technologies such as PHRs.

当代个人健康记录的效用、价值和益处：综合审查和概念综合

背景：当代个人健康记录 (PHR) 技术为个人提供了一个有用的平台，以维护来自不同医疗点的个人报告和临床来源数据的终生记录。目标：本文对现有的 PHR 文献进行了综合回顾和综合。这篇评论借鉴了多种分析视角，并在产品、消费者和行业层面审议了 PHR 的价值观点。方法：使用与 PHR 相关的多个关键字搜索 2001-2020 年的学术数据库。在我们对与我们的研究相关的现有文献的回顾中，制定了三个研究问题并用作选择标准。结果：我们提供了 PHR 特性和功能的高级功能实用模型。我们还概念化了 PHR 的消费者价值框架，强调这些技术在各种医疗保健提供活动中的应用。最后，我们总结了 PHR 对各种医疗保健人员的好处，包括消费者、提供者、支付者和公共卫生机构。结论：PHR 产品为其用户提供了无数基于内容、连接性和协作的特性和功能。尽管消费者受益于 PHR 技术提供的工具，但它们的整体价值延伸到医疗保健提供链的各个组成部分。尽管技术取得了进步，但我们的文献综述发现 PHR 工具支持的消费者价值研究存在不足。除了学者和研究人员，我们的文献综述和提议的框架可能对医疗保健部门的价值分析委员会特别有帮助，这些委员会受委托对创新的医疗信息技术（如 PHR）进行评估。试用注册：
