PH.3.1.1#02 dependent SHOULD

The system SHOULD provide the ability to capture the PHR Account Holder's self-measured and externally-sourced vital signs (e.g., blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and severity of pain) according to organizational policy and/or jurisdictional law.

PH.3.1.1#03 MAY

The system MAY capture other self-reported clinical measures (e.g., peak expiratory flow rate, size of lesions, or oxygen saturation) as discrete elements of structured or unstructured data.

PH.3.1.1#04 dependent MAY

The system MAY provide the ability to capture the PHR Account Holder's self-reported mental health status according to organizational policy (e.g., using certain privacy and security protections). For example, the PHR Account Holder might note that the medication that has been prescribed by his physician is causing feelings of anger and depression (and suicidal ideation).

The vendor organization that hosts the PHR system software might have a policy that states that that the PHR Account Holder's self-reported mental health status will not be exported without explicit consents and/or authorizations by the PHR Account Holder.

PH.3.1.1#05 dependent conditional SHOULD

IF the system provides the ability to capture the PHR Account Holder's self-reported mental health status, THEN the system SHOULD provide the ability to capture corresponding consents and/or authorizations regarding the transmission of the PHR Account Holder's self-reported mental health status information according to organizational policy and/or jurisdictional law.

PH.3.1.1#06 SHOULD

The system SHOULD provide the ability to maintain educational information that can be used by the PHR Account Holder to understand his or her condition(s).

PH.3.1.1#07 SHOULD

The system SHOULD provide the ability to maintain educational information that can be used by the PHR Account Holder to understand and choose from various self-care options.
