It's time for the patient medical record to get a refresh.
We can do better than this.
Your Challenge
Take the patient health
record that exists today
Reimagine the patient experience by improving the usability and layout

(Online and at an exhibit in Washington DC)
A combination of the winning designs will be built and open-sourced on Github
(This will be like Bootstrap for health records)
EMRs across the country can integrate it into their products and contribute to the project
(The VA wants to help patients better understand what's in their record, and what it means to them)
What It Looks Like Today
Blue Button was developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and gave Veterans and their families access to their health records. The first version was limited to text.
It looks and feels like a receipt. If you are a patient with many health conditions, the record is unwieldy because of the lack of presentation and hierarchy.
Design Objectives
- Improve the visual layout and style of the information from the medical record
- Create a human-centered design that makes it easier for patient to manage their health
- Enable health professionals to more effectively understand and use patients' health information
- Help family members and friends care for their loved ones
