PHR Users Guide

This guide is designed to provide user documentation for the PHR application. It also describes the features and capabilities of the PHR system and outlines the type of medical information that can be recorded using the PHR.

With the addition of screen shots, the information in this guide is nearly identical to the help links found in the application itself. Field-specific instructions are not included in this guide; however, help links are provided in the application next to each field.
