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.

I am especially excited about the latest standard from HL7 - FHIR. The FHIR standard leverages modern platforms and interaction models. It models the healthcare data-model using XML or JSON; and interaction-model using http REST. I love the security architects, they do a hugely important service for Privacy. now 7 years old.

Leslie sees development of open APIs, of FHIR, to be positive, but not yet the dominant reality, in terms of widespread adoption and use. Some CHIME members are leveraging FHIR today, but not all are doing it as robustly as possible. She notes that “The CIO’s battle cry is ‘Standards!’” The Harlow Group LLC.
