Sharing Your Data

Can I share my health information with another app?

Yes. You can share your health information, such as lab results, medications, allergies, and immunization records, with another app. Before any information is shared, you must approve the sharing, usually by logging in to your MyChart account. Review the app’s terms and conditions, and privacy policy before you share. 

What health information can apps access?

Apps can ask to see certain parts of your health record, such as your medications, allergies, test results, or visit history. Apps can only request a standard set of information called the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI). Different apps might request different information types based on the app’s use case. For more information on USCDI, go to the HealthIT.gov website: https://isp.healthit.gov/united-states-core-data-interoperability-uscdi.

Can I choose what information to share with an app? 

Yes. You can select or clear individual information types before you share your health information. The app receives only the information types you approve. 

Can I choose how long an app has access to my health information? 

Yes. You select how long the app has access, such as one hour, one day, or one year. During this time, the app might also receive any new information added to your record.  

After access ends, the app cannot receive new information from your health record unless you share access to the app again. The app can still see information you already shared. Review the app's privacy policy to learn how it handles your health information after you stop sharing information.

Why can't I find my healthcare organization when trying to share access with an app?

Your healthcare organization might not have turned on support for the app, or the name you are searching for might not match exactly. Confirm you are searching for the correct organization name or contact the app's support team.

How do I give an app access to my health information or my family member’s health information?

Give an app access to your health information or a family member's information.
