Summary

The digitalised medical and health records of citizens are stored in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) of hospitals or clinics, and Personal Healthcare Records (PHR). The quality of medical care is improved when physicians can access the past records of patients. A user-friendly service that enables individual citizens to share their health and medical records in PHR with their physicians is essential to achieve this. In order to encourage patients and physicians to share medical records utilising PHR, while avoiding conflict with the recent trend demanding that citizens have autonomous control of their own personal information, governments have to develop legal measures to encourage individual citizens to take the initiative to record their medical and health data in their PHR and to give their physicians access to it. The author proposes mathematical schemes that can be implemented in the legal incentives deemed suitable for such encouragement.
