We present and implement novel methods to generate the standard Clinical Document for National Health Information Exchange (NHIX) System used in EHR. However, due to the enormity of this problem, we in particular propose to demonstrate a concept application, Medical Drop Box (MDB) with the key technological component of a future NHIX System. With the use of MDB, a person can collect his/her healthcare data and share it with doctors in a seamless way, in conformance to a regulatory framework from anywhere and anytime. Besides the technology for handling numerous forms of healthcare data, the main challenge of NHIX System is to allow individuals and associated medical entities to manage and share their medical information based on personal control and preferences given to each by medical laws, information rights and privacy rules. Statistical information can be generated by using MDB, which will help to health departments for the future decision. Standardized Clinical Document will also help to exchange of medical information in other part of the world.
