Dr. Mandefro explains the history behind the Blue Button Initiative and how it has grown to where it is today while also sharing her beliefs on the culture surrounding health information and technology - describing it as a culture that inhibits the growing demand consumers have for their health data. She reflects on her own battle to obtain health records for her family and describes ways in which changing capabilities in technology surrounding patient portals may ameliorate such struggles.
