Hello,

At the Strata Rx Conference, Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly
Media, asked for support of a proposed federal rule that expands patients'
access to their test results. Tim added his signature on a letter to the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) urging finalization of the
rule, joining Aneesh Chopra, Esther Dyson, Jamie Heywood, Susan Love, David
Lindeman, and Ann Waldo in a rapidly growing group of healthcare and
technology leaders.

"I'm convinced that there's a wave of innovation coming in healthcare,
driven by new kinds of data, new ways of extracting meaning from that data,
and new business models that data can enable," Tim says. While much of that
data is still unavailable, efforts such as this consensus letter advance the
progress of open data in healthcare.

Tim asks you to add your signature to this important letter.
