Health Records on iPhone Now Available to Holzer Health System Patients

Holzer offers patients a simple and secure way to access medical data

Holzer now offers 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. The Health Records feature is part of the Health app, which also shows activity, heart rate, nutrition and other health data consolidated from iPhone, Apple Watch and HealthKit-enabled third-party apps.

Health Records creates a direct connection between medical institutions and a patient’s iPhone, allowing them to see a central view of their allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures and vital signs like blood pressure, pulse, and weight. It also notifies patients when their data is updated. Health Records on iPhone was designed to protect patients’ privacy through utilizing a direct, encrypted connection between the user’s iPhone and the healthcare organization. Downloaded health records data is stored on-device and encrypted with the user’s iPhone passcode, Touch ID or Face ID. Patients can access Health Records from within the Health app and can download their health records by selecting Holzer and authenticating with their ambulatory (athenahealth) patient portal username and password.

“Holzer is proud to offer this feature for our patients who are iPhone users,” shared Dr. Scott Davis, Chief Medical Information Officer, Holzer Health System. “This is a great tool to utilize with your provider to keep track of your health numbers. The system integrates with our ambulatory patient portal records and can be updated instantly with results from office visits, annual exams, etc.”
