Description:	The HITECH Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act place new emphasis on the widespread and meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs). This is an important advance, with one significant exception: Currently EHRs fail to capture data reflecting crucial health behaviors and psychosocial issues. Such patient-reported variables are both health outcomes themselves, and major determinants of other health outcomes. Capturing a core set of standard patient-reported variables in the EHR would lead to unprecedented data harmonization and opportunities for improving patient care and health research. Several institutes and offices from the National Institutes of Health in collaboration with the Society for Behavioral Medicine are coordinating an effort to evaluate and recommend patient-reported measures of health behaviors and psychosocial factors for use in adult primary care and public health electronic health records (EHRs).
