The new arrangements prefigure a redefinition of the relations among healthcare practitioners, patients, and caregivers. The purpose of this paper is to consider the role and the meanings attributed to information when a technical artifact enables new forms of communication within the healthcare management network.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The authors adopted a qualitative research design, conducting a pre-post analysis on a theoretical sample of patients and of a paediatrics department.

In fact, the PHR was symbolized as an instrument to support personal diabetes management but the patients want to preserve their own competence and independent management on the information regarding their \u201cPersonal\u201d diseases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 This work highlights two connotation of \u201cPersonal\u201d information. The first is the dimension of the right to the privacy of information when it is believed that it may be used to pass judgement on the patient. The second connotation of \u201cPersonal\u201d is the assertion by patients of their competence and autonomy in interpreting the information on the basis of personal knowledge about their diabetes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itp-02-2013-0030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]],"date-time":"2014-10-23T12:29:16Z","timestamp":1414067356000},"page":"421-439","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["\u201cOne day it will be you who tells us doctors what to do!\u201d.
