Share with a provider

The "new specialist" problem

Every time your parent sees a new doctor, the family caregiver has to recite the same history — medications, conditions, allergies, recent hospitalizations, advance directive. By the third specialist, you’re tired of typing it. By the fifth, you’re leaving things out. Worse: when something urgent happens (ER visit, sudden cardiology referral), there’s no clean way to hand a stranger the relevant context fast.

A scoped, expiring link

From any workspace, generate a "share with provider" link. Pick what they see (just the medication list, just the medical history, the full one-page summary), set an expiration (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days), and copy the URL. The link is read-only and revocable — close it any time. The recipient sees a clean Kintaria view in their browser with no sign-up, no password, just the data you scoped.

A cardiologist referral

PCP refers Dad to a cardiologist. You create a share link scoped to "medical history + medication list", set 7-day expiration, paste it into the referral form. The cardiologist’s office opens the link, sees a clean summary of Dad’s relevant history, and reaches out to confirm the appointment. After the visit, the link auto-expires. No PHI lingering in someone else’s inbox.

The longer version

The problem nobody else solved cleanly

Every caregiver has the same moment. Mom is in the ER. The triage nurse is asking what medications she’s on. You start reciting from memory and immediately get the doses wrong, because you’re standing in a hallway under fluorescent lights at midnight and you took the dog out to pee twenty minutes ago when this all started.

Your phone has the answer. You can pull up the workspace. You can show the nurse the screen. But she needs to enter it into her system, she’s helping another patient, and she really just wants you to send it to her so she can deal with it after this code blue resolves.

There’s no good option. You can’t give her your account. You don’t want to email her a PDF that lives in her inbox forever. You don’t want to text her a screenshot that ends up in her camera roll. You want to hand her something useful and have it disappear after she’s used it.

What Kintaria does

From inside the workspace, click Share with provider. Pick which sections to include:

• The medication list (current + recently discontinued)
• Allergies + reactions
• Active medical conditions
• Recent labs + trends
• Advance directive / DNR status
• Emergency contacts
• The most recent visit summary

Pick how long the link should work — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, custom. Pick whether it’s view-only (default) or downloadable as a PDF. Generate. You get a single URL. Text it. Email it. Read it out over the phone.

The recipient opens the link in any browser. No account. No password. They see exactly the sections you authorized, no more. The link expires when you set it to expire — or sooner if you revoke it from the dashboard. Every access is logged in the workspace audit trail.

Why this works (when the alternatives don’t)

Doctors don’t want accounts. They have eleven login systems already. Asking them to sign up for a twelfth to read your mom’s medication list is a non-starter. They’ll just hand the iPhone back and say “just tell me.”

Email attachments are permanent. A PDF you send to the ER doctor lives in his inbox forever. There’s no way to expire it. There’s no audit trail of who else he forwarded it to. There’s no way for you to know it’s still being used six months later.

Read-only links solve both. The provider gets immediate access, no friction. You retain control over how long that access lasts. The link can be revoked with one click if you change your mind. Every view is recorded.

What it doesn’t replace

Kintaria’s share link is for the in-the-moment handoff: ER intake, a new specialist, a social worker, an elder-law attorney. It’s not a replacement for formal medical record exchange (CCDA, FHIR-direct) and it doesn’t magically appear in the hospital’s EHR.

It’s also not for granting collaborators ongoing access — that’s what workspace invitations are for. If a hospital case manager needs to coordinate with the family for weeks, invite them into the workspace as an observer instead. Share links are for the moment when you need to put information in a stranger’s hands fast.

Why this matters

The thing caregivers undervalue about themselves is how much information they’re holding in their heads. The medication regimen, the allergy list, the cardiologist’s last instruction, the orthopedist’s name, the year of the hip replacement. It’s a full part-time job to keep that information ready to recite at any door you walk into.

Share links offload that. You don’t have to be the spoken-word record anymore. You hand them a link. They get the same information you’d have given them, except more complete, more accurate, and more durable than your tired recall at 11 PM.

Doctors don’t want accounts. They have eleven login systems already. Share links work because they meet providers exactly where they are.
