In thread http://community.recordsforliving.com/forums/thread/737.aspx Ted asks:

3) I am about to pay another service to collect my records from the various healthcare providers I have used over the last few years, collate and organize them, and supply me the entire thing in a digital format. How do I ask them if that product that they prepare for me is consistent with the standards you discuss for medical IT services?

You should ask this service provider to provide you with your records using the ASTM Continuity of Care Record Standard. This is an international medical record standard. Additional information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_of_care_record
