Tutorial on #FHIR #Security

Nice recorded tutorial by Pascal Pfiffner on FHIR Security from an application developer perspective. I understand from Rene that this was written based on my outline in the article FHIR Security and Privacy - tutorial outline

Some more details and emphasis...

GDPR on FHIR

Image
I just finished a very long week in Cologne at the HL7 workgroup meeting and FHIR Connectathon. I had the idea that I could host a discussion of how to use FHIR in a GDPR compliant organization. So I created a FHIR Connectathon track. This track was hopeful that we could do testing with various parts of the FHIR specification. We ended up talking more about generally how to use the various capabilities that exist in FHIR to meet the various Articles in GDPR. FHIR is GDPR enabled The Security Workgroup and the Privacy (CBCC or CBCP) are global workgroups, so we have been aware of GDPR for many years. As concrete needs came up we would add that capability. Thus FHIR includes many capabilities that can be leveraged to meet GDPR needs. From a purely geek perspective the GDPR is not technically unusual, it simply places some higher emphasis on Privacy and Security capabilities. Thus overall the GDPR is a good thing to me, as it validates and will leverage the work I have spent 20 years deve...

IHE Document Sharing (XDS) Metadata management Handbook

Image
The IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Committee has published a new Handbook as of August 20, 2018: Document Sharing Metadata The above document is available for download at https://www.ihe.net/Technical_Frameworks/ or at User Handbooks . The full IHE formal announcement The Document Sharing profiles from IHE including XDS and XCA, enable a Community to share Patient specific medical documents. This is described in the Enabling Document Sharing through IHE Profiles white paper (HIE using IHE) . Each document shared is described by metadata. A Community deploying an HIE this way needs to define some metadata constraints and practices, so that the documents are found when they are needed. This handbook helps a Community to come up with appropriate constraints. Purpose of the Document Sharing Metadata Handbook This handbook is intended to assist the reader on the steps necessary to define how document metadata would be used, how to enforce and propagate that use, and how to evolve the docu...

De-Duplicating the received duplicate data

Image
Everyone is frustrated by duplicate data. In Healthcare space there is a fresh cry from Clinicians around their frustration at seeing duplicate data. On the bright side, this means that they are now getting data. So we in the Interoperability space MUST be succeeding with all the efforts to create Health Information Exchanges, and to enable Patient to access their data. We standards geeks are quickly put in our chair because we failed to prevent this duplicate data problem... Well, yes and no. Each standard we created included mechanisms that are there specifically prevent duplication. However when those standards are used, shortcuts are taken. It might be a shortcut in the software development. It might be shortcuts in deploying a network. It might be shortcuts in deploying a network of networks. It might be a shortcut when the data was created. It might be a shortcut when the data was exported. It might be a shortcut when the data was 'Used'... But it is shortcuts, that is wh...
