The goal is to have easy and implementable systems that enable a Patient to control where, when, and to whom their data is accessible. When the data are all considered equal in the eyes of Privacy, they can all be covered by simple rules of "Permit all access.", Sensitive health topics Healthcare is not simple. Healthcare data contain some topics that have various sensitivities. Some data are only sensitive in specific context. MORE

If you’re running an HIE, you’re always hoping to see your participants step up their interoperability game. The thing is, few HIEs go the extra mile to make it happen, in many cases because they just don’t have the resources to tackle the problem.

There is a fundamental difference between access requests for Personally Identifiable Health Data when a PHR requests access vs when a Clinical application or other EHR asks for access. That is that the HIE is designed for ONE purpose. For example a Health Information Exchange (HIE) that is designed for supporting Treatment. Thus one needs to carefully design the security tokens in ALL requests so that they declare what Purpose is driving the request for data. MORE
After years of evolving and struggling to find a solid business model, HIEs have finally found a reasonably secure place in the healthcare system.

Apple has re-entered the Healthcare space with their new announcement about support for a person to maintain their health data on their iPhone.

If you’ve been watching stop-and-start efforts toward health data interoperability over the last several years, many of which have netted little progress, you might be surprised to hear a top-drawer consulting firm argue that we’re moving ahead into an era of radical interoperability in the healthcare and life science industries.
