I would include in that list a mandate for compliance with technology standards for medical records technology, to be developed by private industry over a period of no more than 3 years.

These standards would include provision for device and operating system compatibility, security, access controls, storage, transportability, and upwards migration to new technology as it is developed in both technology and medicine.

The medical industry is just now coming in to the electronic age. What we don't need is a whole bunch of incompatible technology (see Betamax vs. VHS). Doctors, health insurers, hospitals, drug companies, and testing labs need to be able to exchange information seamlessly with appropriate security and access controls as needed.

Portability of patient medical history is a key.
