Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a personal health organizer on continuity of care and patient responsibility. Methods: In this six-month observational study, 42 medical patients were recruited by their physicians to use a health organizer. Outcomes were measured using self-administered questionnaires. Results: Ninety-one percent stated the organizer improved the availability of their medical information, made them feel more in control of their health, and helped them to understand their medical problems. Conclusion: The personal health organizer improved patients' perception of continuity of care and allowed patients to become more responsible for their health care.
