It is Bridge’s interpretation that a ONC-certified EHR / EHR modular solution is required to provide FHIR-ready API access to the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization should make it easy for patients to access their patient information via a portal and their own or recommended smartphone app. This would typically be an app provided by the certified EHR vendor or one provided by the healthcare organization using the EHR vendor-provided API. There is a clear responsibility that is put on the EHR/Portal vendor and/or mobile app developer to follow the guidelines set forth in the final rule, as well as other regulations set by the FDC and HIPAA for example. In any case, API and smartphone access supporting the USCDI data set should be provided to patients by the healthcare organization in collaboration with health IT vendors.
API functionality must be fully enabled such that any application chosen by a patient would allow them to gain access to their individual health information, provided the application is configured to meet the technical specifications of the API.
What’s an API? An Application Programming Interface (API) is a computing interface to a software component or a system, that defines how other components or systems can use it¹. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc.
The patient (or the patient-authorized representative) is provided timely access to view online, download, and transmit his or her health information. Access to the health information must be provided by both a portal and via an API.
The information you share with these apps includes data related to your interactions with your health care providers and data that Priority Partners collects when providing care management or other services for you.
Priority Partners has given permission for developers to create a tool that allows users to look up information about health care providers in our network. Developers of this tool will not have access to members’ health information.
Priority Partners must follow HIPAA rules and policy to protect your information. Find out more about your rights and who is subject to HIPAA laws. If you want to file a HIPAA complaint with the Office for Civil Rights, visit Filing a Complaint.
Individuals’ rates of being offered and subsequently accessing their patient portal increased significantly between 2018 and 2019, but did not change in 2020.

Question: What is an Identity Provider? An Identity Provider, or IdP, will sit between the patient facing app and MEDITECH’s APIs to broker authentication access to the API data. If this is confusing, it might be easier first to think of a non-EHR example. When using a mobile app, such as Uber or MyFitnessPal, you may sign up for these apps by using your Google or Facebook account. By doing so, you are granting Uber or MyFitnessPal access to Google or Facebook to authenticate using those credentials. By providing these permissions, your new app has access to your Google email or Facebook email, and assigns it to your user. Instead of saving a password with Uber or MyFitnessPal, you use Google or Facebook to sign in. Google or Facebook authenticates you confirming your identity, allowing you to use the app. The MEDITECH workflow is actually very similar. There is a published medical records workflow that outlines where external identities, such as your email address, can be associated to a medical record in HIM/MRI. An IdP would authenticate an email address stored on the medical record, confirm its authenticity, and signal to MEDITECH “it’s ok to open up the clinical data file to the app requesting it.”
Question: What are the requirements to meet the Stage 3 Provide Patient Electronic Access to Their Health Information measure? There are 2 components to this requirement 1) Providing access to the patient and 2) Enabling the API functionality for use with an app of the patient's choice.
The final rule (pg 520) states that the measure does not require that the eligible hospital or CAH provide an application for its patients’ use. The patient must have the ability to access their health information via an application of their own choice. Additional considerations on this topic can be found on HHS.gov.
Yes. Use of the Apple Health app requires additional code that is outside the scope of what is required by CMS/ONC and beyond what is included in MEDITECH’s API specifications. MEDITECH is pleased to offer this functionality, but an update will be needed in order to obtain the code which has been Apple-certified.
