The system SHOULD provide the ability to automatically receive inbound communications from external sources (e.g., from Cancer Registries or Immunization Registries) to facilitate updating of the PHR Account Holder's reminder-related information.

IF the system has received an inbound communication from an external source (e.g., from Cancer Registry or Immunization Registry) regarding reminder-related information, THEN the system SHOULD provide the ability for the PHR Account Holder to transmit an acknowledgement of that inbound communication.

IF the system has received inbound communications from external sources (e.g., from Cancer Registries or Immunization Registries) regarding reminder-related information, THEN the system SHOULD provide the ability for the PHR Account Holder to maintain that reminder-related information (e.g., by reviewing, editing, storing, harmonizing, updating, or deleting the information).

The system MAY provide the ability to manage reminders automatically for PHR Account Holders meeting specific criteria (e.g., age, gender, or diagnosis). For example, the PHR Account Holder is a male and does not need to view reminders about annual mammograms; or the PHR Account Holder is diabetic and desires to receive and store reminders about foot examinations that will help assess circulatory health.

The system MAY provide the ability to render reminders automatically to the PHR Account Holder (e.g., via email or voice message).

The system SHOULD log reminder activity (e.g., by logging the fact the PHR-S transmitted a reminder message to the PHR Account Holder's email or mobile phone regarding an upcoming appointment).
