Starting this fall, healthcare companies that use Athenahealth, Meditech or DrChrono can enable patients to share their own data from the Apple Health app through their iPhone with providers, according to June 9 news releases.
Three details:
- Providers who allow patients to share their data will be able to access the information in the EHR within the patient’s chart.
- Patients will be able to share a range of data with their care providers, such as lab test results, immunizations, and health information from the Apple Watch and other third-party devices, including heart rate and sleep tracking data.
- Cerner will also enable providers to allow data-sharing with its patients. All four EHR vendors report the same fall timeline to launch the sharing feature.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
