BlueButton.js is JavaScript library to work with Blue Button data. Try the demo.
This project is under heavy development! Until a v1 release, the public API will change, a lot.
This project is currently under development by members of the Blue Button developer community.
If you have a suggestion or concern, submit an issue or tweet us at @ProjectBlueBtn.
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.
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();
Information about the document itself can be accessed by using the document
method:
// Returns an object containing information about the CCD document
bb.document();
