Health Records on iPhone Now Available to Patients of Physicians Regional Health Care System

5/20/2019

Creates a simple and secure way to access your medical data

Naples, Fla. (May 15, 2019) – Physicians Regional Healthcare System today 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 have received hospital care at Physicians Regional Healthcare System can now use their iPhone to access and visualize important details of their medical records, including allergies, conditions, immunizations, labs, medications, procedures and vitals.

“We’re excited to offer our patients this convenient access to their health record,” said Scott Lowe, Chief Executive Officer at Physicians Regional Healthcare System. “Apple offers a secure platform that people trust and it’s great to have a new resource to connect patients with their data.”

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 and can 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.

Physicians Regional patients can also access their health information directly via their hospital at PhysiciansRegional.com/hospital-patient-portal. Through CareNotify, hospital discharge summaries, diagnostic imaging and lab results are available.
