I've recently edited a Focus Theme on Health Record Banking in the the Methods of Information in Medicine Journal. My editorial paper is titled "It’s Time for Health Record Banking!" Here is its abstract:
This Focus Theme aims at describing the Health Record Banking (HRB) paradigm, which offers an alternative constellation of health information exchange and integration through sustainability of health records over the lifetime of individuals by independent and trusted organizations.

Other papers in this Focus Theme include:
