Consumers get a digital vaccination record with
a verifiable, standards-based credential that helps ensure patient
privacy and provides world-class security
Change Healthcare (Nasdaq: CHNG) today announced the launch of
its Vaccination Record solution. This digital solution gives
Americans the ability to access a durable, security-enabled, and
trusted record of their vaccinations and/or testing results to be
used when and where they choose. The solution is based on the open
standards designed by the Vaccination Credential Initiative™.
Vaccination Record allows vaccination and testing providers to
quickly and easily provide their customers a security-enabled and
durable record of their vaccinations, and allows those consumers to
easily see, save, and share their vaccination information with
whomever they choose. It allows authorized parties to verify that
information, if allowed by the consumers. To bring this solution to
Americans, Vaccination Record can be accessed on all types of
devices, including feature phones, smart phones, and computers,
and, like a boarding pass, can be printed for convenience. The
record and the credentials are fully under the consumer’s
control.
Focused on empowering providers and consumers, Vaccination
Record is provided as a fee-free service for vaccination and
testing providers, state registries, pharmacies, and labs. Using a
standards-based data API, any pharmacy, healthcare provider,
testing lab or government agency can easily create and distribute a
branded, verifiable digital vaccination record to its patients.
Change Healthcare’s standards-based integration APIs allow digital
health companies, digital wallets, and others to display digital
vaccination credentials in their applications and allows those
credentials to be systematically verified upon the customer’s
request, with no proprietary apps required.
Change Healthcare’s Vaccination Record allows consumers to
quickly prove they have been vaccinated using a security-enabled,
convenient, “always on” solution. Once patients verify their
vaccination status, they can then send a text to a code provided by
their healthcare provider, which starts the process. Consumers can
view their credentials on any internet browser or smart phone
(requiring no app), download and/or print them, and securely share
their vaccination status. This approach allows Americans to decide
when, how, and with whom their vaccination data is shared and for
what purpose, including work, school, or public purposes such as
travel, sporting events, concerts, and restaurants. Beyond the
COVID-19 pandemic, the portable solution will facilitate consumer
record keeping for common vaccinations required for adults and
children.
“Vaccination and testing records deserve the same
interoperability and privacy protections afforded to other health
information,” said Kris Joshi, president, Network Solutions, at
Change Healthcare. “In addition, they must be easy to access and
shared securely by the consumers. We are proud to be working with
leading pharmacies and providers across the country to enable them
to support consumers through the pandemic without adding new costs
or inconveniencing patients. Change Healthcare’s Vaccination Record
provides a security-enabled, digital, on-demand solution that can
be trusted by consumers, as well as those who require vaccine
verification.”
Among the pharmacies offering the service is Albertsons
Companies, which operates pharmacies under the Albertsons, Safeway,
Vons, Jewel-Osco, Acme, Randalls, Tom Thumb Shaw’s, Star-Market,
Pavilions, Carrs, and United Supermarkets banners.
“Throughout the pandemic, our pharmacy team has served our local
communities,” said Omer Gajial, SVP of Pharmacy and Health at
Albertsons Cos. “After administering more than 4 million doses of
the vaccine, we know that many consumers would like a vaccination
certificate that is more convenient than the paper card. The
Vaccination Record solution offers consumers easy and direct
digital access to their records. It also enables our pharmacists to
offer another convenient health solution to our customers.”
Change Healthcare’s portable vaccine record is currently
available through over 2,000 community, regional, and national
pharmacy locations. For more information or to begin offering the
portable vaccination record to your patients and their communities
