The Trump administration on July 30 unveiled a public-private partnership aimed at building a more connected, user-friendly digital health system for patients and providers — an initiative that is now beginning to take shape.
The effort centers on two main goals: improving the secure exchange of health information between providers and patients, and expanding access to digital tools that enable more personalized care. Health systems and EHR vendors that pledged to participate are now leading the next phase of the initiative.
Epic, for instance, rolled out MyChart Central, a new tool that allows patients to use a single login to access health records from multiple participating providers. The platform serves as a hub for patients, offering one sign-in to manage care across organizations and providing centralized access to their MyChart portal accounts.
On Oct. 9, health systems across Louisiana joined forces to launch MyChart Central, giving patients a single, password-free login across multiple health systems. Their demographic information will automatically sync between records.
Oracle Health, another EHR vendor that joined the Trump administration’s pledge alongside Epic, also launched Connection Hub, a tool designed to help U.S. healthcare providers manage and share patient data through a single console.
The platform aims to simplify interoperability between hospitals, payers and government agencies while providing a consolidated view of data exchanges and detailed audit trails to support compliance and data privacy.
While the tools are still in early stages, their rollout signals that health systems and vendors are beginning to turn the government’s digital health vision into reality — one login, one record, and one patient at a time.
