Records access and management
An electronic device for aggregating electronic medical records, in which electronic medical records are aggregated from multiple electronic repositories and displayed as a single set of records. The multiple electronic repositories may store records for a particular patient using varying identifying/access information to facilitate anonymous access to the electronic medical records. Emergency medical services providers may be able to access medical records for a patient using the electronic device after being authenticated as a valid/licensed medical services provider.

updating the collection of electronic medical records using the electronic medical record.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recipient device is configured to communicate with other electronic devices to perform records access and management operations.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein using the authentication information comprises using the authentication information to authenticate the identity of the patient.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein using the authentication information comprises using the authentication information to authenticate the transmission of the subset of electronic medical records.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collection of electronic medical records comprises multiple medical records originating from at least two different remote medical provider systems.
15. A system comprising:
at least one processor of a wireless device; and
one or more computer-readable media coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed, cause the wireless device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request to transmit electronic medical records of a patient to a recipient device;
receiving input selecting a subset of electronic medical records from a collection of electronic medical records, the collection of electronic medical records being stored by at least two different remote medical provider systems, wherein the input selecting the subset of electronic medical records from the collection is provided by the patient through the wireless device;
identifying, for each electronic medical record of the subset of electronic medical records, a respective remote medical provider system storing the electronic medical record;
receiving authentication information corresponding to the patient;
authenticating, using the authentication information, an identity of the patient or to authenticate a transmission of the subset of electronic medical records;
in response to authenticating the identity of the patient, sending, to each of the identified remote medical provider systems, a request to transmit the respective electronic medical record to the wireless device;
receiving, by the wireless device, the subset of electronic medical records; and
wirelessly transmitting the subset of electronic medical records from the wireless device to the recipient device.
