# Health Records

# How it works

Greenlight delivers secure, patient-consented health records anywhere they need to be, in minutes. Simple. Fast. Trusted.

Health Records streamlines how providers, researchers, and insurers retrieve and access patient records. The system is fast to deploy and eliminates the inefficiencies and delays common in traditional record requests.

Records can be requested on a one-time basis or updated automatically through secure API connections, ensuring continuous access to the latest, verified patient information whenever it’s needed.

Whether supporting clinical research, care coordination, payer operations, or real-world data initiatives, Greenlight’s Health Records provides the security, speed, and scalability needed to move healthcare forward.

## The Greenlight workflow: **_Go fast!_**

It’s time to revolutionize how patients share and benefit from their electronic health data – and how organizations access that data to advance claims, clinical trials, research, and care.

#### Move EHR data in minutes

**Patient**

Patient controls what data is shared, with whom, and when

Matching algorithm confirms healthcare provider

**Providers**

Greenlight technology creates access for the patient to the provider’s system to transmit the digital records

Data-as-a-Service securely shares EHR data with trusted organizations

**Partners**

Firms from disability insurers to clinical research groups retrieve health records data via API, and can optionally get automatic record updates if required​

## **_Any data_**, any EHR

Whichever digital format the data is in – CCD or FHIR R4 – on whatever vendor provided patient record system your health system provider utilizes, Greenlight makes it accessible and useful while ensuring patients are always in full control of their health records data. Data types can include but are not limited to:

- Patient Demographics
- Medications
- Procedures
- Encounters
- Functional Status
- Medical Equipment
- Plan of Treatment
- Vital Signs
- Allergies and Intolerances
- Problems
- Lab/Test Results
- Family History
- Immunizations
- Payers
- Social History
- Nutrition

Notes will be included in many sections, and with the focus to include:

- Consultation
- Referral
- Discharge
- Progress
- Transfer

Our **Data Retrieval Engines** extract machine-readable Continuity of Care Documents (CCD) or FHIR R4 record formats. The CCD or R4 record is a medical summary of a patient’s treatment history with a provider or healthcare facility. Greenlight supports both Full Medical Record Summaries as well as updates, also known as Encounters, for a single medical event, office visit, or procedure.

In addition to the machine-readable file (CCD in XML and R4 in JSON), Greenlight can also provide a PDF rendering of the record separately or in addition to the digital file.

We may move fast, but we never compromise on security. For more than 25 years across our history in patient data and portals, Greenlight has earned the trust of patients, providers, and partners through our unwavering commitment to protecting sensitive health data.
