What is it?

A family of online tools to improve health and health care.

The basic HowYourHealth tool (In English or Spanish) serves people aged 2-99 by:

• Helping them to think about their health as they complete an age and gender specific survey.

•  Giving them readings directed at the problems and concerns they identify during the survey.

• Giving them an action plan to take to their doctor
•  Allowing them to have a personal health record

It also serves health care professionals by:

• Allowing them to see the action plan of their patients
•  Allowing them to have practice specific-data on issues such as access, efficiency, overall quality of care.
•  Allowing them to compare to national performance benchmarks (www.howsyourhealth.com, 2007).
