Personal Health Record (PHR) System for Maternal and Child Health Care in Disaster

Promoting relationships with neighbors and creating an environment that encourages people to help one another during disasters and in normal times are effective way in supporting mothers and children. Medical personnel should consult with municipalities during normal times to determine ways in which they can support mothers and children during a disaster. Maternal and child health (MCH) policy that promote maternal and child well-being after disasters, such as maternity checkups and vaccinations, should be designed. If data on medical facilities, municipalities, and child-rearing parents can be gathered, shared, and utilized in a personal health record (PHR) system, the quality of support for pregnancies, births, and child-rearing can improve significantly. Today, there are multiple businesses and entities involved in maternal and child health care. However, while they are interconnected in complex ways, their businesses, institutions, and administrative tasks are neither cooperative nor well integrated. For this reason, the merits of users carrying their own data are being discussed, and it has become a pressing need to create a tool for data sharing and communication for stakeholders. The PHR system is created with the goal of enabling individuals to personally own their information and to protect their lives and health through a collaborative network.
