I already have one proposal for the transition from the current Federated Health Information Exchange to supporting FHIR, that is based on a transition from CDA to FHIR-Documents. Federated FHIR Resource Servers In this article I am going to add another step to the smooth transition. I will get to those later.

The IPS is a Document, and there is a definition for this document using CDA and using FHIR. The FHIR Document is the one most are interested in. But FHIR is the hot new standard, so everyone wants to use it. CDA and FHIR Documents don't come with a form of integrity check. So, changing them along the way is easy.

There is a FHIR leadership desire to have the FHIR Data Type "Signature" normative in FHIR R6. The ballots leading to FHIR R6 will give us a chance to test with the community their interest in this Data Type being ready to be called Normative. The FHIR Signature Datatype is less concerning than all of Digital Signatures.

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.

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.

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.

IHE has agreed to work on the Privacy Consent on FHIR implementation guide. This is the work that I hinted at in IHE FHIR Privacy Consent IG. I am so happy that it won't be called BPPCm, although I am not all that happy with "FHIR" in the name as the name should invoke an understanding of the problem being solved, not the solution.

I got a Question: Can you address a specific example of the intersection of FHIR standards and OWASP guidance? The FHIR spec allows for sensitive ids such as patient identifier to be used on the query string when searching for a patient. Again, patient data will be flowing, so to be worried about query parameters and not data is silly.

I outline in the last article that a Document Sharing "document" does not need to be a "Document". Mostly this is just a use of the IPS Composition profile applied to the DocumentReference (see FHIR core mapping between Composition and DocumentReference).
