## Requirements: PH.1.6 Manage PHR Account Status (Function)

Page standards status: Informative

Statement N:

Enable a PHR Account Holder to open or close a PHR Account, or to transfer PHR information from one PHR Account to another PHR Account.

Description I:

A PHR Account Holder may possess one or more PHR accounts over a lifetime, and may have multiple PHR accounts open simultaneously. The PHR system, therefore, needs to provide the ability to open or close a PHR account on a PHR Account Holder’s behalf, and to transmit a copy of PHR account data to other PHR systems.

Actors:
ehr Criteria N:

PH.1.6#01 | dependent SHALL | The system SHALL provide the ability to authorize and authenticate a PHR Account Holder to create or activate a new PHR Account according to organizational policy and/or jurisdictional law.
