Mayo Clinic is now offering an enhanced Personal Health Record (PHR) option.

A Personal Health Record should in general facilitate increased safety and the quality of care you receive across multiple providers, and especially in an emergent care setting in which the attending physician may know next to nothing about your medical history. However, a Personal Health Record that is full of errors may hurt you more than it helps you.
