Interoperability partnership marks MedAllies' first collaboration with a patient-direct solution
FISHKILL, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MedAllies, a leading healthcare interoperability and connectivity services provider, announced today that Selfii, a provider of privacy-preserving solutions transforming healthcare data into actionable insights for both individuals and institutions, has selected MedAllies as its Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) partner.
As one of the first direct-to-consumer companies to connect directly to a QHIN to process patient request - significantly reducing the time, processes and administrative burden to complete individual access requests - Selfii is leading the charge in improving individual access requests.
"We're thrilled to join MedAllies' QHIN as its first patient-direct solution," says Anil Sethi, founder and CEO of Selfii. "We've seen firsthand the transformative power of data in improving outcomes for both patients and providers. Our connection with MedAllies will streamline access to healthcare records, enhance security and reduce compliance risks, empowering individuals to take greater control of their healthcare."
Connecting to MedAllies empowers Selfii to greatly enhance the depth and breadth of personal health data accessible to patients through its Patient Health Gateway and Patient Health Application API. This also strengthens Selfii's Cures Gateway solution which offers a secure, cost-effective method for health information exchanges to efficiently handle patient-initiated records requests, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring fast, secure access to complete patient records nationwide.
"MedAllies is very excited to be working with Selfii," said John Blair, MD, CEO, MedAllies. "Consumers have been locked out of ubiquitous access to their health information for years. Through TEFCA and companies like Selfii, we are finally witnessing the walls come down for the consumer. We are proud to be part of this moment."
The partnership between the MedAllies QHIN and Selfii will give patients greater access to and control over their health data, empowering informed care decisions. Together, MedAllies and Selfii will enable nationwide collaboration and unlock the full potential of health records.
In late 2023, MedAllies was awarded designation as a QHIN under the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common AgreementSM (TEFCASM ). QHINs connect directly to each other to ensure interoperability between the networks they represent, enabling healthcare stakeholders to securely and reliably share accurate patient data, driving more informed patient-care decisions.
Selfii provides seamless access to over 20 state and regional health information exchanges, all national healthcare networks using the leading frameworks, such as Carequality and TEFCA, through MedAllies. Selfii supports organizations serving a collective 128 million people nationwide, making it the largest network in the U.S. for individual patient information access.
