Patients whose providers are participating in Health Records on iPhone are now able to easily consolidate all of their available medical records data into the Apple Health app. Patients simply go into the Health app on their iPhone, navigate to Health Records, select their provider and log in with their OnPatient credentials.
Other Benefits of FHIR
Separate from integrating with Health Records on iPhone, DrChrono's open FHIR API also allows patients to choose to share their medical records with research institutes and other parties, opening the possibility for researchers to do meaningful medical research, for example with COVID-19 and its effects on a patient's current diseases, based on all the patient medical records coming from FHIR. This gives a much broader dataset, and it can mean more accurate/more representable results for researchers.
