Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't want to share my information with a health information app?
You can continue to use My National Jewish Health Patient Portal without sharing your health care information.
Is my health data protected if I share my information with an app?
The health data you chose to share with a compatible health information app may no longer be subject to federal laws and regulations that apply to an individual's protected health information.
Sharing your health information with a healthcare app may result in further disclosure beyond your control. By proceeding, it will allow the health information app to access your personal health information. Vendors that develop healthcare apps may be subject to different laws and regulations than healthcare institutions. Please review Terms of Use and the specific vendor's policies of the application you choose.
Who to contact for technical support?
National Jewish Health does not provide technical support for any third-party health information apps. For general questions, you may email FHIR@NJHealth.org
