quoteMoving health data should be safe, simple and inexpensive. Blue Button technology is all of those things. With Blue Button, providers can give their patients the ability to keep and control their own health data. Blue Button also enables patient-authorized sharing with other doctors, hospitals, or points of service – like pharmacies.quote

quoteGiving our beneficiaries access to their own information, when they want and need it, is in perfect alignment with our vision of the Triple Aim – better care at lower costs and better health for populations. When individuals understand what their health choices are, and can see and analyze them with caregivers or family members, they become powerful members of the health care team. The Blue Button enables this ease of access, and we hope to see the tool and its use grow.quote
