The system SHOULD provide the ability to capture and maintain PHR Account Holder -specific health or treatment guidelines from healthcare providers or other trusted electronic healthcare sources.

The system SHOULD provide the ability to update PHR Account Holder -specific care plans and guidelines (e.g., isometric exercises in a business office versus swimming in a home pool).

The system SHOULD capture the source of the guideline.

The system SHOULD provide the ability for the PHR Account Holder to annotate the guideline.

The system SHOULD provide the ability to manage functionality that supports the PHR Account Holder's self-care plans that are based on guidelines (e.g., a task list, calendar entry, regularly scheduled alert, and/or reminders to perform a certain task).

The system MAY render an alert or reminder when the PHR Account Holder is out of compliance with a guideline.

The system MAY provide the ability for external stakeholders (e.g., including a PHR Account Holder Proxy, a physical exercise coach, or a registered dietitian/nutritionist) to present the PHR Account Holder's self-generated care plan(s) and transmit recommendations to the PHR Account Holder (e.g., a nutritionist offers recommendations regarding the PHR Account Holder's weight control plan that is based on a weight-control guideline). Note: The PHR Account Holder is able to accept or reject recommendations from external stakeholders regarding possible adjustment to the PHR Account Holder's self-generated care plan. The PHR Account Holder's self-generated care plan is different than the professional caregiver's care plan.
