I just went to the Dr this morning and the prognosis was their systems are horrible and just getting worse... Apparently the Allscripts program they use gets really really slow about once a week and is generally over capacity.

It was neat that they could pull up some records from a hospital visit from a few years ago but generally it was really painful to watch. On the drive back I was thinking to myself "YC should invest in as many EHR companies as possible." Your service seems very interesting and immediately reminded me of what easypost.com is doing for shipping providers which I also love. We ship out a bit of hardware to go with our software and the shipping APIs are a huge mess too and most existing solutions need tweaked to the point where eventually you will need to do some integration work to get the efficiencies you want. I assume it's the same or worse in the EHR space. Nice work.

Hey @andymoe, thanks for your comment and your kind words!

You're absolutely right that EHR's have a whole host of problems that could be solved by smart app developers! There's a ton of opportunity unlocked by providing safe and developer friendly access to health data.
