Epic Systems, the giant medical records software vendor, created an app store two years ago so that companies including Apple, Oscar Health and other providers of health apps could sync their services with patient data from large hospitals and clinics.
"Over the last few months we updated our App Orchard policies to help assure that apps operate in ways that keep patient data safe, private, and secure," an Epic spokesperson said in the statement."During that time, the App Orchard remained open, registrations were received, but new enrollments had to wait until our policies were completed. New applications are currently being reviewed and approved.
There are 119 apps currently enrolled in App Orchard, according to its website. They include Apple Health, which helps Apple Watch and iPhone users pull together health information from all their clinics and hospitals, as well as the appointment booking apps from Zocdoc and Oscar Health. Others are building apps for medication reminders, and hundreds more are currently in the process of developing apps for App Orchard, said a person familiar with the matter.
