Download a Health Record

You can view and download all or parts of a health record to your device. The health record will be condensed and presented as a Continuity of Care Document (CCD). You can choose to download the CCD in PDF or XML format.

• XML: Download as a machine readable CCD that can be uploaded to a health record system or given to doctors requesting this format. A CCD is a health record document standard used by U.S. healthcare organizations for sharing electronic health records. The XML format is typically used by physicians or specialists to share health record information between hospitals to give them a detailed understanding of current health and health history.
• PDF: Download as a PDF file that you can save, print, or view on most computers and smartphones.
