Patient Authentication
How to allow a third-party app to access your health record
Patients of providers who use Epic software can connect third-party
applications (apps) to retrieve parts of their health record for their own
personal use. Examples of data that can be pulled into an app include lab
results, allergies, medications and immunization history.
In order to authorize an app to retrieve your health data, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have signed up for the Sharp app. You will need your login
credentials for the authentication process.
2. Access the third-party application on your personal device. Carefully
review the app’s terms and conditions.
3. The app may ask you to select your health care provider from a list.
Select your health care provider.
4. You will now be redirected to the Sharp app login screen. Enter your
credentials to continue.
Note: you should not share your password directly with another person or
application. This page is designed to let you securely share your health
record without disclosing your password. You can also look at the URL at the
top of the browser window to check that:
1. The website name is associated with Sharp HealthCare 2. The URL begins
with https:// or has the lock icon:
5. If you have access to another person’s account, you will need to select
which account you are linking the app to.
6. You may see a page with details about the app. These details come from a
questionnaire that the app developer fills out and attests to, such as how the
app is funded, whether it distributes your data to other parties, and whether
you’re able to delete or see records of the data the app collects. Review this
information carefully and determine whether you would like the app to have
access to your health information. If you would like to allow the app to
access your data, click “Allow Access.”
7. In some cases, you may be able to select what information to share. For
example, the app may request your allergies, appointments, care plans and
results. If you don’t want to share your allergy information with the app, you
may click the allergies card to remove it.
8. You also may be able to decide how long the app has access to your
information. If any new information is added to your medical record during
this time, the app may have access to that new information as well:
