The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT launched its Blue Button video competition Oct. 1 to create awareness of consumers having easy online access to their health information, and to motivate them in how they might use it.

Many consumers, especially healthy individuals, have not thought about the importance of having 24/7 access to their health information, according to ONC’s announcement in the Federal Register.

The only content requirement is to mention Blue Button, show an image of the official Blue Button graphic, and direct consumers to the Blue Button site to find out more about it.
1. Create a Video no longer than 2 minutes that that mentions Blue Button, shows an image of the Blue Button logo, and encourages others to visitwww.HealthIT.gov/bluebutton for more information.
