What is one challenge related to the adoption of Personal Health Records (PHRs)?

One significant challenge related to the adoption of Personal Health Records (PHRs) is the low patient desire to pay for PHR services. Many patients may recognize the potential benefits of keeping their health information organized and accessible; however, the willingness to incur costs associated with PHR services can be limited. Factors such as perceived value, costs, and understanding of the advantages of using PHRs can all influence a patient's decision to invest financially. When patients are reluctant to pay, it can hinder the widespread adoption and utility of PHR systems.

Addressing the issues of cost and perceived benefits can help promote PHR adoption by making patients more aware of how these systems can streamline their healthcare experience, potentially improving health outcomes.
