How does this integrate with popular EHRs? Most support this type of record sharing between each other and ways to share those records with the patient themselves.

We certainly plan to integrate more directly with EMRs in the future, but at the moment we just go through hospitals' medical records departments. We have 5-6 different ways hospitals can respond to our requests.

What we've optimized for is simplicity—while our process for getting medical records from hospital A may var from our process with hospital B, we abstract all of that away and make the ordering process the same for all U.S. hospitals.
