Today, the CARIN Alliance, a non-partisan, multi-sector alliance focused on providing digital health information to consumers where, when, and how they want to achieve their goals, launched the My Health Application website. The website offers a vendor and platform agnostic location to help consumers select a health care application of their choice to aggregate their clinical, coverage, and payment information. 

We are pleased to announce the inaugural set of 11 consumer-facing applications on the My Health Application website (in alphabetical order):

My Health Application was created by the CARIN Alliance because they recognized the need for a centralized vendor and platform agnostic location for individuals to find applications that would allow them to access and utilize their health data. Individuals will find applications on the website who have attested to the CARIN code of conduct, an industry-leading set of privacy, security, and consent guidelines for consumer-facing applications to follow when handling health information. 

When users click on ‘Select an App’, they will find detailed screenshots and information for each application on the ‘Application Gallery’ page. In addition to the CARIN code of conduct, users will also find applications who are affiliated with other trusted sources such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Veterans Health Administration, Carequality, CommonWell Health Alliance, 1up Health, and Apple Health. Applications who are affiliated with these trusted sources will help begin to establish trust over time. The consumer can easily link to the application’s privacy policy and terms of service so they can access information about how the application is accessing, using, and storing the consumer’s health information. Over time, the website may include an application’s third-party certifications once those services become more widely available in the market. 

The CARIN Alliance envisions a future where consumers can choose an application of their choice to retrieve both their complete health record and complete coverage information from any provider or health plan in the country based on their individual consent sharing preferences. My Health Application helps consumers accomplish that goal by offering a transparent way for them to view consumer-facing applications in a single location.

Early Adopters: OneRecord signs the CARIN Code of Conduct

At OneRecord, our users are the center of everything. We understand their experiences personally. We treat them as equal participants on our mission to transform the healthcare system into a consumer-focused one. This includes being transparent about the relationship between their data and our platform. We don’t believe anyone should have to trade privacy for access to services. Our goal at OneRecord is simple. To build the best products for accessing and managing your health data, without compromising privacy and security. 

On December 1, 2019, as part of our ongoing effort to lead the way for best practices built on a foundation of privacy and security have signed the CARIN Code of Conduct. We are proud to be early adopters and look forward to our continued involvement in the CARIN Alliance and the CARIN Code of Conduct. 

The CARIN Alliance, a multi-sector group of more than sixty health care and other stakeholders managed by Leavitt Partners, has released the CARIN code of conduct for how entities not covered by the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as third-party applications, can voluntarily handle health care data on behalf of consumers. For the first time, health care organizations and other organizations can have an enforceable code of conduct for third-party applications not covered by HIPAA to self-attest to in order to access health care data on behalf of consumers.

Supportive of recent legislative statutes, such as the 21st Century Cures Act, and ongoing regulatory measures, application programming interfaces (APIs) are being implemented by health care organizations across the country to allow consumers to access their health information on a third-party application of their choice. When personally identifiable health information is shared with applications, that information is considered consumer data and falls outside of the industry's current privacy and security practices under HIPAA. The CARIN code of conduct addresses how health care data should be handled by consumer-facing applications under Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which encourages industry to develop consensus for what is meant by "unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

The CARIN code of conduct is based on a central theme – third-party applications need to ensure consumers, or their authorized caregivers, provide informed, proactive consent for how their health care data is collected, used, and shared, giving consumers complete access and control over the use of their health care data by entities not covered by HIPAA.

Jennifer Blumenthal is named the chair of CommonWell Health Alliance's Privacy and Security Committee

CommonWell Health Alliance was founded in 2013 by a handful of health IT companies committed to helping solve the longstanding problem of interoperability in the healthcare industry. Traditionally competitors, these seven companies set aside their differences to focus on this simple vision.

The Alliance now has a diverse mix of member companies, ranging from health care organizations and not-for-profits to EHR companies and data exchange vendors. CommonWell members have deployed CommonWell services in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., and thousands of provider sites are utilizing these services daily.

While the vision for ubiquitous health data interoperability is simple, the solution is complex. CommonWell continues to work with its members and service providers as well as industry and government leaders to drive new innovations to make health data more accessible, with the ultimate aim of improving health outcomes.

Jennifer Blumenthal, OneRecord's Co-Founder and CEO, has been named the chair of the Privacy and Security Committee for the Alliance. As the chair, Jennifer will work alongside the other seven leadership committees to advise the Board of Directors on the direction of the Alliance.
