Can I access my health data?
CRISP has partnered with Carequality to enable access to your health information from your different providers while giving you a choice in personal health applications (PHA) to use once your identity is confirmed.
CRISP patient records from participation health care organizations can be accessed by an Personal Health Application of your choosing that is connected to
Carequality
Carequality
—a national healthcare data exchange network—recently developed a process to enable patients, using a validated mobile or web-based PHA connected to Carequality, to access any of their own health data available on the exchange, including data in CRISP. By partnering with Carequality for patient access, patients can use apps or services of their choice that are connected to Carequality to get their health records from providers that work with CRISP as well as the entire Carequality National Network.
Using a Personal Health Application (PHA)
This approach enables you to access your health data from all your providers while giving you a choice in PHAs. To check if a PHA can connect to your health information in CRISP, visit

Frequently Asked Questions
on Selfiie’s website and navigate to “How Do I Sign Up.”
To get started: Go to
app.selfiie.com
, click “Sign Up,” and follow the steps. To search for your records, you’ll need to verify your identity. You will need a cellphone with a camera and the ability to be verified through CLEAR so the patient will also need a valid gov’t issued ID driver’s license, passport, U.S. Visa etc.
*** CRISP does not endorse any specific patient health data access vendor. Selfiie is provided as an example of a patient facing application with identity validation that could be used to access your consolidated health data through Carequality.
Why We Chose This Solution
CRISP relies on Carequality as the access point for personal health applications (PHAs) because the network sets consistent rules that all PHAs must follow to exchange data. As a result, CRISP only allows an application to access your information if the application has agreed to follow
Carequality’s requirements
, including requirements around identity verification. Looking for help reviewing apps that connect you to your health information? The
CARIN Alliance
works to ensure healthcare consumers and their authorized caregivers can securely access health data digitally. CARIN has created a trust framework and code of conduct for PHAs. You can find a list of participating PHA companies and details about the code of conduct on the CARIN Alliance website.
