I'm not sure that there is any evidence to support this - there is evidence that providers utilizing health information exchange could lower costs by preventing duplication but I'm not sure a web based PHR is going to save anyone money. In my humble opinion, the way to lower health care costs is to improve the quality of healthcare. EMR is one way to do this but its really only one very small part of the puzzle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260408 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
