Personal health records and information management

This briefing summarises the RCN vision for personal health information management, how ICT can support this vision and what needs to be done to overcome barriers to achieve the changes required. It is intended to inform all aspects of records development, record standards development and nursing educational programmes. 

The RCN believes that all people, including children and young people, should be supported to control and manage their own health information according to their preferences and needs.
