Background: Personal health records (PHRs) or patient portals have been on the healthcare policy agenda for many countries as a promising mechanism to support patient-centred healthcare by making medical records accessible to patients and those assisting patients in health self-management. Studies on clinical outcome have been inconsistent. To help us to understand why, we propose to look at measures that precede clinical outcome, specifically patient engagement and activation.
