Despite progress in creating standardized clinical data models and inter-application protocols, the goal of creating a life-long healthcare record remains mired in the pragmatics of inter-institutional competition, concerns about privacy and unnecessary disclosure, and the lack of a nationwide system for authenticating and authorizing access to medical information. We describe the architecture of a personally-controlled healthcare record system, PING, that is not institutionally bound, is free and open source, and that meets the policy requirements that we have previously identified for healthcare delivery and population-wide research.
