The dominant topic in my scope over the past 5 years has been Privacy and Security of FHIR. I have three events that are being discussed in three different organizations, each with a different audience, but all with similar needs and goal. I am also working with IHE-USA/HIMSS for a similar event.

Last week was the biggest event/spectacle in health IT, the “World’s Fair of Healthcare”, also known as HIMSS. I am a HIMSS newbie, so the size and scope seemed huge, even overwhelming at times, but veterans noted a noticeable temperance to this year’s event. Overall, HIMSS was a “win” for me and for Redox this year.

IHE IT-Infrastructure has agreed to start a new work item on the topic of Privacy Consent, using FHIR. This minimally would be a re-evaluation of the use-cases in BPPC for use with FHIR Consent, but likely will go beyond that scope simply because of modern needs, modern toolings, and ease at which the FHIR Consent can support them.

As FHIR continues to mature, one of the things we’re seeing is a move away from ‘simple’ data representation Implementation Guides to more complex ones that describe a workflow of some sort. To test this out, I chose a simple use case that uses FHIR notifications to let relatives know when a person is admitted to hospital.

HL7 owns the “FHIR” ® trademark (along with the FHIR flame icon ). What that means is that anyone can use the term “FHIR” to refer the FHIR specification – that’s called nominative use – it’s naming the thing that FHIR identifies. Note that HL7 asks that people use (R) along with the FHIR mark, at least once).

It is better to put pointers (to FHIR Servers) onto the chain. Thus there will be many FHIR Servers that hold your data (might be others than FHIR, but why bother mentioning them). However probably best to presume many FHIR servers. permissioned chains, or encrypted, etc). So pointers are good, data are bad.

I have been in a few discussions lately where the question came up on how to add additional information to an ATNA Audit Message (aka FHIR AuditEvent). When all audit events are recorded with their transaction identifier, then one can see all the audit events caused by one transaction. But there is a need to setup some things.

Break-Glass events should happen very rarely, but when they do the Audit Log must be relied upon to provide transparency to the activities.

I think the most useful value-add that an HIE can add is an API that is based on FHIR. Not just Provenance (Who, What, Where, When, Why), but also care setting, intention of the event, duration of the event, etc. A Document Sharing environment can share FHIR documents. This setting does have an Option "XDS on FHIR".
