U.S. and UK agree on Open API for Electronic Health Records

The U.S. and the UK governments have agreed to work together on healthcare related quality indicators, releasing and using health data, and on the interoperability of electronic patient record systems. Part of this initiative in America is the so-called Blue Button Connector.

It is the very first open data source delivered through an open API that makes transparent the health data that is increasingly available to the public.
