Which component is not typically included in a tethered personal health record?

A tethered personal health record (PHR) typically connects to a specific healthcare provider's electronic health record (EHR) system, allowing patients to access their health information and engage with certain functionalities. The key features of a tethered PHR usually include secure messaging with healthcare providers, online scheduling of appointments, and storage for data that patients enter personally, such as health metrics or lifestyle information.

Personal doctor visit logs, while useful for tracking health history, are not typically a standard component of a tethered PHR. Instead, this type of record generally pulls in data from the provider's EHR, rather than relying on the patient to maintain detailed logs of their visits. The focus of a tethered PHR is more on facilitating communication and access to existing health information rather than tracking visit details independently. Therefore, personal doctor visit logs are not a common element in this kind of health record system.
