The VA has something called BlueButton that looks really cool (https://www.va.gov/bluebutton/ https://www.va.gov/bluebutton/) and I think should be standard practice across all EMS systems (one click export of all a patient's data to a single text file).
The file format itself seems like a bit tough to parse, but the concept I love.
- ljoshua 6y agoBlue Button technically is an industry-wide standard though its origins were indeed in the government. I've seen it supported in a couple of the private healthcare systems I've used (though I haven't ever used the resulting data download unfortunately!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Button https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Button
- zomglings 6y agoThere's a pretty good library that helps parse those bluebutton documents: https://github.com/amida-tech/blue-button https://github.com/amida-tech/blue-button
