Allscripts offers new way to access Allscripts
iPhone users’ health data
Today, Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) announced that Apple Health
Records is now available for Allscripts Sunrise™, TouchWorks® and
Professional EHR™ clients and their patients. Health Records brings
together hospitals, clinics and the existing Apple Health app to
make it easy for individuals to see their available health data
from multiple providers whenever they choose. Health Records is
available for iPhone users running iOS 11.3 or higher. This latest
offering is an addition to Allscripts robust patient engagement
offering, which includes Allscripts FollowMyHealth®, the
EHR-neutral cornerstone of the Allscripts patient engagement
solution.
Previously, an individual’s health information was held in
multiple locations, requiring patients to log in to each care
provider’s website and piece together the information manually.
Apple worked with the health care community to take a
consumer-friendly approach and created Health Records based on Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a standard for
transferring electronic medical records.
Now, individuals will have medical information from
participating institutions organized into one view, covering
allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications,
procedures and vitals, and will receive notifications when their
data is updated. Health Records data is encrypted and protected
with the user’s iPhone passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.
Sharp HealthCare, Think Whole Person Healthcare, UT Physicians,
Blessing Health System, Erie County Medical Center, Sarasota
Memorial Health Care System and Digestive Disease Associates are
among the healthcare organizations that have participated in early
testing.
“Giving our patients easy and mobile access to their healthcare
providers and their health records is important to us,” said Think
Chief Operating Officer, Rick Pane. “Today, people can access all
kinds of information. Their own health records should be at the top
of the list. At Think, we aim to be the leaders in changing
healthcare and helping people to live their healthiest lives. It
makes absolute sense to partner with the leader in technology to
help do so.”
“With Health Records on iPhone, patients can become more active
members of their own care team,” said Allscripts Chief Executive
Officer, Paul M. Black. “Health Records on iPhone empowers
individuals to direct how their own health data is stored and used.
We are proud to offer this and other FHIR-connected applications
for our clients and their patients.”
