Health data logistics leader Datavant today announced a strategic partnership with digital identity verification network ID.me to modernize and secure patient access to personal medical records across the United States. With the integration of ID.me’s identity verification platform within Datavant’s process for retrieving health data for patients, the partnership offers millions of patients an easy and faster way to request, see, and share their full health records.
The access to the medical records of patients was typically constrained by manual identity verification process, disjointed portal sign-ins, and slow administrative procedures. In order to meet the HIPAA requirements for privacy, the healthcare providers need to carefully verify the identities of individuals. The joint product from Datavant and ID.me eliminates all of these barriers through secure and automated digital identity verification process.
Advancing Identity Security and Health Data Interoperability
The integration connects ID.me’s identity verification platform directly into Datavant’s nationwide health data network, which links thousands of hospitals, health systems, and medical clinics. Patients requesting medical files can verify their identity using existing ID.me credentials widely utilized across federal and state government agencies eliminating redundant identity checks and accelerating record delivery.
