Abstract
Personal Health Records (PHR) emerge as an alternative to integrate patient’s health information to give a
global view of patients' status. However, integration is not a trivial feature when dealing with a variety
electronic health systems from healthcare centers. Access to PHR sensitive information must comply with
privacy policies defined by the patient. Architecture PHR design should be in accordance to these, and take
advantage of nowadays technology. Cloud computing is a current technology that provides scalability,
ubiquity, and elasticity features. This paper presents a scoping review related to PHR systems that achieve
three characteristics: integrated, reliable and cloud-based. We found 101 articles that addressed
thosecharacteristics. We identified four main research topics: proposal/developed systems, PHR
recommendations for development, system integration and standards, and security and privacy. Integration
is tackled with HL7 CDA standard. Information reliability is based in ABE security-privacy mechanism.
Cloud-based technology access is achieved via SOA.
