“Isn’t it amazing how we can travel the world and pay for nearly anything with a credit card? This is possible because credit cards are simple: they use a standard device; they are relatively secure; and they use a common data standard.

Just like a credit card, we should be able to use our medical records anywhere in the world, anytime we choose, and maintain personal control over our information at all times.”
