Data made available to patients via Blue Button+ should be human-readable and formatted in a way that is “machine readable” for third party applications. This section includes recommended data elements and structure, and format options for providing that data to a patient.
To the extent that data holders already have useful and meaningful electronic health data for consumers' Blue Button files, including from administrative claims data, The followinging Data Fields are recommended for inclusion in the Blue Button+ files. The file should should be as consistent as possible – in both structure and content – with the Medicare Blue Button file (available here).
