Health records on iPhone now available to Baptist Health patients on MyChart

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ) — Baptist Health now supports Health Records on iPhone, which brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Apple Health app to make it easy for patients to see their available medical data from multiple providers whenever they choose.

Patients who use Baptist Health’s MyChart health record system – available through all hospital and Baptist Health Medical Group offices in Kentucky – can utilize Health Records on iPhone, which integrates Baptist Health’s application programming interfaces (APIs) with Apple’s Health app.

Previously, patients’ medical records were held in multiple locations, requiring patients to log into each care provider’s website and piece together the information manually. Apple worked with the healthcare community to take a consumer-friendly approach and created Health Records based on FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a standard for transferring electronic medical records.

Now, patients will have medical information from participating institutions organized into one view, covering allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures and vitals, and will receive notifications when their data is updated. Health Records data is encrypted and protected with the user’s iPhone passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.
