PHR
With a single authentication, iPhone owners whose providers use DrChrono's OnPatient will be able to consolidate their records within Apple's PHR.
Called CommonHealth, the platform is designed as an alternative to Apple's Health Records for those outside of the iOS ecosystem.
The personal health record feature combines data from a patient's EHR with other daily health and wellness info housed in the iPhone's Health app.
Clinics and systems may self-register on Apple's website, which will allow patients with iPhones to download their records and search for their provider.
Interoperability standards, public cloud infrastructure, and personal health records could all change the game, Kos says.
