The FHIR standard is a data-model and interface (API) specification for access to health-care data. FHIR has a data type structure for an Identifier that is designed to hold any kind of globally unique identifier. All of these are information managed in another domain outside of FHIR. and his blog.

Sorry to my audience for not getting much from my blog lately. Some blog topics: IHE (ITI and possibly others) Plans for next year. Something assertive about OAuth and FHIR I often write an article based on some random question I got via email. You can try to use my blog " Ask Me A Question " I am very sick of forms.

A survey published in JAMIA found 73% of digital health vendors are using standards-based FHIR APIs when integrating with EHR systems. The news isn’t all good, as ONC noted in a blog post , as 68% of vendors are also using some form of proprietary APIs as well.

I blogged half as many articles as last year, and yet my readership only dropped by 16%. I wish I had more than 28 blog articles this year to give you. Falling mostly in the category of FHIR, Consent/AccessControl, or De-Identification. I am amazed at all you loyal readers. I hope that they were useful.

There’s a thread running on chat.fhir.org about the FHIR JSON format. In FHIR, the base types are called ‘primitive types’ – things such as ‘string’, ‘integer’, ‘boolean’ etc. This thread needs some background, so here goes… Background. Current JSON Form.

This is a cross-post from my personal blog. The organizers of the FHIR #DevDays conference next month have announced the four finalists who will come to Amsterdam to present their ideas to a panel of judges. In contrast to this, the HL7 FHIR organization said explicitly this June that #FHIR exists to serve patient needs.

I am asked how someone can get engaged with developments in Privacy/Security around FHIR. I am especially encouraging to anyone that has either coding experience, or deployment experience; as I find that too many people engaged in Privacy/Security around FHIR are coming from the theoretical perspective. This includes DICOM and FHIR.

The easy answer is go read all my blog articles under the #FHIR topic The second easy answer is to point at the FHIR security pages. There are efforts underway to create a Privacy Consent Directive modeled in FHIR.

As FHIR matures, the security topic becomes more and more important. In fact the specification they have " FHIR OAuth 2 " is not open for review, yet. It is made up of a set of strings that represent a few FHIR resources. It is not a complete list of FHIR resource types.

I have been working with some of the teams wanting to do something with Privacy Consent and are coming to the FHIR Connectathon in San Diego. An example of this is -- SMART-on-FHIR. There is some consent gathering application that presents these Privacy Policies to Patients, and records the Consent ceremony as a FHIR Consent resource.

Grahame got this question on FHIR Consent , and forward it to me to answer. Question: I am using the FHIR Contract resource ( [link] ) to convey the patient consent for a provider to access specific FHIR resources (Ex: Observation, MedicationOrder, DiagnosticReport…). It is the first use-case to not disclose any lab-results.

Many will say that http RESTful is functioning on a global basis with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Wiki, and Blogs. Does that mean we don't move to nationwide http RESTful FHIR? I expect, as I have said before, that the green-fields will/should use http RESTful FHIR. This is true, but these are all monolithic servers.

I have been asked quite often to explain how to secure FHIR. The basics of Security for FHIR are written up on the FHIR Specification. Don’t worry about security The first answer is the one I give to those in HL7 that are working on developing FHIR, or just getting their feet wet learning FHIR. Not too big.

This should be of value to servers implementing an IPS endpoint as well as useful to FHIR beginners as it has a number of useful visualizations. I’m also going to use Node-RED to create an IPS document from a FHIR server using a ‘facade’ pattern. IG’s are the ‘next big thing’ for FHIR.

The topic is Patient Privacy Consent; the discussion is if this should be modeled as a core FHIR Resource, or as a core FHIR Profile upon the Contract Resource. When we first started to model Privacy Consent Directive in FHIR, we had just finished (mostly finished) the CDA Privacy Consent Directive. Break away from Contract.

There’s a lot more information on SMART – including a number of posts on this blog. In real life you’d query some store of tokens that the Authorization server has issued, check that they exist and haven’t expired, manage refresh tokens and suchlike. So that’s how we can make our app more secure.
