HealthTap has always offered members easy, secure access to their medical records. Now, we’re taking that convenience further by joining Health Gorilla’s Candidate Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN).

When designated, QHINs will act as secure hubs where people and medical organizations can exchange medical information. 

Starting in 2024:

  • HealthTap doctors will be able to access patient medical records from any organization in Health Gorilla’s network.

  • People who create a free HealthTap account will be able to access their medical records within the network.

“HealthTap is honored to be a chosen partner for Health Gorilla as our country forges ahead toward simple connectivity for patients, doctors, and the entire industry,” said Sean Mehra, CEO of HealthTap. “Easy and secure access to medical records from disparate organizations in one place is foundational to improving the overall healthcare experience as well as health outcomes.”
HealthTap patients will have the option to verify their identity using Identity Assurance Level (IAL) 2 standards, the National Institute of Technology’s requirement for remote identification. Once they do, they can choose to share their medical records with the Health Gorilla QHIN.
To become a QHIN, organizations must agree to a federally established set of rules and technical standards. 
In addition to HealthTap, Health Gorilla announced that 16 other partner organizations have been invited to join their QHIN.
“We’re thrilled to have HealthTap’s commitment to participate in our candidate QHIN,” said Steve Yaskin, CEO & Co-founder of Health Gorilla. “By supporting all authorized exchange purposes, including Treatment and Individual Access Services (IAS), we can empower HealthTap providers and patients to seamlessly retrieve medical records from our nationwide network.”
