Taking the Blue Button Nationwide

• 450+ organizations have pledged to make it

easier for 1/3 of Americans to electronically

access and use their health info

• Get more organizations to offer Blue Button

and to implement Blue Button+

• Make “Blue Button” a household name = “e-

access to my health data”
