Epic Systems announced that individuals will be able to securely release their health data to apps of their choice.
Epic is one of the organizations that has been helping the federal government establish the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement, or TEFCA, which outlines the legal and technical requirements for sharing patients' data at scale.
Patients will have more direct control over their medical information than ever before.
Epic's announcement Thursday means they are officially ready to support individual access services.
TEFCA aims to establish the baseline of trust necessary to make that happen.
It will take around two weeks for Epic customers to deploy these new features, though it will likely take more time.
