For chronic patients, comprehensive health records and utilization are important for health care and emergency situations. In particular, in the event of an emergency, information on the patient's personal health records, such as recent surgery records, disease history, prescription and dosage history is needed immediately, but it is difficult to check separately for each hospital. In addition, in emergencies, it may take more time for proper treatment to take place if patients themselves cannot directly talk about their medication or past surgical history, or if they are unable to communicate with patients. Recently, conditions have been prepared for the collection and utilization of personal health record information due to changes in policy and technology environment, making it possible to provide services for emergency patients with chronic diseases. \<Objective\> To establish a service for collection and utilization of medical records (care, examination, surgery, prescription records) and PGHD for chronic patients and to evaluate its effectiveness. \<Design\> Mixed methods study (questionnaires and interview) \<Setting\> At the Samsung Medical Center and the Dong-A Medical Center. \<Enrollment\> 400 patients(care givers) \<Intervention\> 1. 400 patients(care givers) are enrolled and use the personal health wallet service.
