The Blue Button project has become a way for many Americans to download their health records by just a click in any way that suits them, such as in print, on a thumb drive, or on their mobile devices and smartphones. Several organizations have developed and applied Blue Buttons on their websites to allow beneficiaries to securely access and view personal medical information and claims. The purpose of this literature review is to highlight the significance of the Blue Button project in the field of health information management. Findings suggest that the project could empower and engage consumers and patients in a healthcare system by allowing access to medical records, thereby promoting better management and overall improvement of their healthcare. To date, the project has gained wide support from insurers, technology companies, and health providers despite the challenges of standardization and interoperability.

Introduction: In traffic rule, green/blue means go, and red means stop. It has been shown that this prior knowledge about traffic signal colors can affect reaction times (RTs). For example, RTs are longer when responding to a red "Go" signal and withholding the response to a blue "No-go" signal (Red Go/Blue No-go task) than when responding to a blue "Go" signal and withholding the response to a red "No-go" signal (Blue Go/Red No-go task), when responses are provided by button press.
