That’s why I had to sit down with Jared Jeffery, Founder at healthKERI , to learn more about his pathway to starting his new health data exchange company. He also shares who the target customers are for healthKERI and we discuss whether healthcare organizations really want to solve the data interoperability problem.

Today on the FHIR Consent call we had a very useful discussion of how one would use FHIR Consent to do the same thing that BPPC does in XDS. Said another way, what is the degenerate form of FHIR Consent that is equal-to the functionality of BPPC, and what is the degenerate form of FHIR Consent that is compatible with BPPC.

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 a new FHIR specification that expresses what a International Patient Summary (IPS) would look like. This is a FHIR-Document, much like a CDA Document, but using FHIR fundamentals rather than the HL7 v3 model that is the basis of CDA. The IPS is not a policy or procedure document for how the IPS data was acquired.

Patients controlling use of their data Provide the ability of the Patient to set rules for how their data can be used. This is otherwise called Consent, but many people have a very constrained definition of Consent, so I am happy to indicate it is rules for how the data can be used. Controlling the data use is fundamental.

So I often get frustrated when someone says that the HIE needs to become Patient Centered. There is no other purpose of an HIE besides the Patient. In Wisconsin we do have Consent, specifically there is a state wide system for a Patient to choose to NOT allow their data to be shared over the exchange. But it is more than some.
