Today, June 25, 2008 the Markle Foundation’s Connecting for Health Initiative, a public-private collaborative group engaging more than 100 organizations representing all major components of the health sector, released a new framework to increase health end-users participation and protect information. ACOR is one of the organizations endorsing the Framework. Entitled “Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information” it proposes a set of practices that, when taken together, encourage appropriate handling of personal health information as it flows to and from personal health records (PHRs) and similar applications or supporting services.
