ZAP Data and Access

What data a patient's ZAP holds, the ways to access it, and what your organization can see.

The Zus Aggregated Profile (ZAP) is a single view of a patient's clinical data: what your organization contributes, plus records from health data networks and other organizations on Zus. It can also include Lens summaries built from that data.

First-party data comes from your applications, EHR integration and the Zus App; third-party data comes from external organizations through health data networks and from other organizations on Zus. Lens summaries are built from both.

What's in a patient's ZAP

  • First-party data is what your organization contributes, through the Zus APIs, an EHR integration or the Zus App.
  • Third-party data comes from outside your organization: health data networks and other organizations on Zus.

Each user and App Client also needs a role that allows the access method they use.

What your organization can see

A matching Universal Patient Identifier (UPID) doesn't by itself give you the full ZAP. What you can see depends on your relationship with the patient, access rules, and data restrictions.

  • First-party data is always available to you.
  • Third-party data requires an active relationship with the patient, which you assert with the FHIR Patient.active field. See Patient Relationships and Data Access for how to set it and how long access lasts after unenrollment.

For what other organizations can see of the data you contribute, see Common Patient Record within Zus.
