摘要
Various health literacy and information tracking systems have been designed by the government to assist the Veteran population in taking charge of their own health and health education. My HealtheVet is one such platform that was launched in 2008 as a method of tracking the physical and mental conditions of each veteran by both the primary care team and the veteran. This system allows the veteran to view results of any medical testing or procedures, input health goals, and view charts indicating progress of health goals. My HealtheVet also synthesizes all health data that are placed in each veteran's health care chart to provide veterans with clear, concise information about current and future status of their health.
