To get vendors to commit to adopt a Blue Button of their own and meet the Meaningful Use standard that requires 5 percent of patients to view, download or transmit their data by the time the 2013 HIMSS Conference rolls around in March of next year, Mostashari established a Twitter feed using the #VDTnow hashtag. He said that adapting this capability moves the notion of viewing, downloading, and transmitting personal health information beyond just accessing that information through a personal health record (PHR) that’s tethered to a provider’s data source and makes it a personally controlled health record.
It’s the idea that Americans nationwide should be able to download and transmit their data without issue. Mostashari argued that Blue Button is an evolving concept. Recently, the VA announced the Blue Button initiative had reached one million patients.

The Blue Button allows veterans to easily view, download, and transmit (VDT) their health information into a single, portable file. It got a huge boost during National Health IT Week, when Farzad Mostashari, M.D., the national health IT coordinator, publicly challenged vendors to adopt the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)’s Blue Button initiative. Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed that this idea of getting patients to be more involved with their own health outcomes has really been pushed into the forefront of the healthcare landscape-even more so than usual. I even wrote it about as recently as two weeks ago, and this will serve as sort of a follow-up. Of course, its focus and prominence are nothing new. Not to harp on, but the patient engagement train continues to roll forward at an impressive speed.
