The Consumer Health Portal (CHP) is the first Proof of Concept personal electronic health record developed for New Zealand healthcare consumers. The CHP creates an electronic health record that the patient can own and control. The patient will have their health summary in a secure electronic health portal to assist them to achieve their health goals, supported and guided by their doctor.

The Consumer Health Portal (CHP) project is a NZ Health IT Cluster led collaborative project. The project team is comprised of organisations with a commitment to delivering innovative healthcare solutions.

It is proposed that the CHP be further developed. The Proof of Concept (PoC) focuses on the demonstration of technical capability. Phase Two, is intended to deliver a clinical reference implementation to produce a controlled study on benefits

The CHP has been developed to facilitate the inclusion of new functionality to support the requirements for tailored care for different conditions and different regions.
