Usage

Start by creating a Blue Button document object by passing a CCDA XML string to BlueButton:

var bb = BlueButton(xml);

The Blue Button document object, bb in this example, now exposes all patient data through a simple and consistent interface.

Sections

The health record sections are available using these public methods – JavaScript objects representing the patient data is returned from each:

// Returns the patient's personal information and demographics
bb.demographics();

// Returns the patient's allergies and alerts
bb.allergies();

// Returns the patient's encounters
bb.encounters();

// Returns a list of the patient's immunizations
bb.immunizations();

// Returns a list of the patient's laboratory results, organized by panel
bb.labs();

// Returns a list of the patient's medications
bb.medications();

// Returns the patient's problem list
bb.problems();

// Returns a list of the patient's procedures
bb.procedures();

// Returns a list of the patient's vital readings, grouped by date
bb.vitals();

Document Metadata

Information about the document itself can be accessed by using the document method:

// Returns an object containing information about the CCD document
bb.document();
