Blue Button is a symbol for easy, online access to your own health information, including clinical and financial data. What tools and applications do you need to make sense of the data and take care of yourself and your family? Tell us and vote on other ideas through June 11th! Over the summer developers across the country will build the most popular submissions and then in August you will choose the winner.
This is a lovely and innovative idea. Anyone can participate. As of the moment I am writing this, the most popular idea is:
Please help my wife...
Manage our
children's immunizations! As any mother knows managing immunizations
for children can be a huge hassle. Not only is it a hassle, but there
there are well documented dangers of not getting the proper
immunizations at the right time and being over immunized (not to mention
the costs on the latter). We have 3 children under 6 and a fourth one
on the way. I have literally taken phone calls from my wife crying,
frustrated that she had to take all three kids to the doctor's office
and wait an hour to get a nurse print the immunization records so that
we can take a trip or enroll them in school. All states have an
immunization registry that is funded by the CDC. We also have a
HealthVault account for all of our kids. Can someone please build a
HealthVault app to leverage BlueButton+ to aggregate and allow us to
manage our kids immunizations? An added plus would be the ability to
easily share (print, email, fax?) the records to the school or other
necessary recipient!

Paul,
Please see www.WikiDoc.org where we crowdsource medical education.
One of the practical things Kentucky did when I lived in that state was to have the regional state health department office provide immunizations and track them. So there was one supplier and one record-keeper for all vaccinations.
