Challenge Purpose
• The Meaningful Use Stage 3 program from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
requires hospitals and providers to provide a minimum of one application that their
patients can utilize to access their health information via an API from the organization’s
Electronic Health Record (EHR).
• In addition, the requirements state that patients should be able to use any application
that meets the specifications of the EHR’s API to access their health information.
• The goal of these requirements is to spur innovation to better engage patients in their
care and provide them with control over access to and the ability to organize their health
information. Patients must be provided with instructions at discharge from the hospital
or departure from a clinic visit on the available applications from which they can access
their health information and where to find them.
• The goal of this Challenge is to identify application vendors able to meet the
specifications of the Allscripts EHR APIs that can be used by our clients to meet the
MU3 requirements as well as spur patient engagement.
