In August 2010, the President of the United States announced the Blue Button initiative which would offer patients one-click access to all of their personal healthcare data. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) developed the program with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Markle Foundation's Consumer Engagement Workgroup. Recently, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology conducted a conference announcing to health information technology vendors that they should "set data free," enabling patients to have secure and easy access to their personal health information through Blue Button.
Ronn Schuman, CEO of Connectyx Technologies, said, "By enabling MedFlash® subscribers to update, maintain and share their personal medical records through a user-friendly interface like the Blue Button®, patients can become empowered to become more proactive and engaged in their own healthcare. This easier access enables consumers to accumulate personal electronic health information from multiple providers. The easier it is to understand how to maintain and access their own healthcare data, the more likely consumers will adopt the use of MedFlash®."
