Last year, Apple announced a FHIR-enabled Health Records feature that enables patients at hundreds of hospitals and clinics to access medical information from various healthcare institutions and to organize it into a single aggregated view on their iOS devices.\u201cWith Health Records on iPhone, patients can become more active members of their own care team,\u201d said Allscripts CEO Paul Black in a written statement. \u201cHealth Records on iPhone empowers individuals to direct how their own health data is stored and used.\u201dIn 2018, Apple also announced the availability of a Health Records API in an effort to enable developers to create an ecosystem of apps that empower patients by communicating with Apple\u2019s HealthKit\u2014provided they have users\u2019 permissions\u2014to access and share this data.Allscripts said that several healthcare organizations participated in early testing of its Health Records integration, including Blessing Health System, Digestive Disease Associates, Erie County Medical Center, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, Sharp HealthCare, Think Whole Person Healthcare and UT Physicians.\u201cGiving our patients easy and mobile access to their healthcare providers and their health records is important to us,\u201d said Rick Pane, COO of Think Whole Person Healthcare, a multidisciplinary patient-centered medical home. \u201cToday, 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.\u201d","saveContent":"Healthcare IT vendor Allscripts is jumping on the Apple Health Records bandwagon by making the solution for transferring electronic medical records available to its customers and their patients.
