Data Sharing & Privacy

Zus is a shared health data platform. Therefore, patient data you store on the Zus platform will be available to other healthcare organizations in two ways:

1. On the Zus platform, with other organizations that have asserted a TPO relationship with this patient using the FHIR Patient.active field
2. As part of requests from networks such as CommonWell and Carequality, so long as the requesting party from those networks has a relationship with the patient for TPO purposes, unless that data is flagged as “restricted” (more details below).

In both scenarios, Zus only shares data that is part of the Designated Record Set and excludes any data that is Restricted. Additionally, the other organization must also provide enough demographic information on a patient to match them in our Universal Patient Index.
