We spent a bit of time in the last post describing why we want to have data coded, how FHIR supports coded data – especially the external terminologies where the concepts are defined – and described some of the RESTful API calls that we could make to retrieve specific Observations and DiagnosticReports from the repository.

Many will say that http RESTful is functioning on a global basis with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Wiki, and Blogs. Does that mean we don't move to nationwide http RESTful FHIR? I expect, as I have said before, that the green-fields will/should use http RESTful FHIR. This is true, but these are all monolithic servers.

I am asked how someone can get engaged with developments in Privacy/Security around FHIR. I am especially encouraging to anyone that has either coding experience, or deployment experience; as I find that too many people engaged in Privacy/Security around FHIR are coming from the theoretical perspective. This includes DICOM and FHIR.

Rene asked for an outline of Security topics for FHIR for an upcoming tutorial he is giving. The easy answer is go read all my blog articles under the #FHIR topic The second easy answer is to point at the FHIR security pages. There are efforts underway to create a Privacy Consent Directive modeled in FHIR.

As FHIR matures, the security topic becomes more and more important. In fact the specification they have " FHIR OAuth 2 " is not open for review, yet. It is made up of a set of strings that represent a few FHIR resources. It is not a complete list of FHIR resource types.

The FHIR standard is a data-model and interface (API) specification for access to health-care data. FHIR has a data type structure for an Identifier that is designed to hold any kind of globally unique identifier.

I have been asked quite often to explain how to secure FHIR. The basics of Security for FHIR are written up on the FHIR Specification. Don’t worry about security The first answer is the one I give to those in HL7 that are working on developing FHIR, or just getting their feet wet learning FHIR. Not too big.

Grahame got this question on FHIR Consent , and forward it to me to answer. Question: I am using the FHIR Contract resource ( [link] ) to convey the patient consent for a provider to access specific FHIR resources (Ex: Observation, MedicationOrder, DiagnosticReport…). It is the first use-case to not disclose any lab-results.

I have been working with some of the teams wanting to do something with Privacy Consent and are coming to the FHIR Connectathon in San Diego. An example of this is -- SMART-on-FHIR.

There’s a lot more information on SMART – including a number of posts on this blog. In real life you’d query some store of tokens that the Authorization server has issued, check that they exist and haven’t expired, manage refresh tokens and suchlike. So that’s how we can make our app more secure.

The topic is Patient Privacy Consent; the discussion is if this should be modeled as a core FHIR Resource, or as a core FHIR Profile upon the Contract Resource. When we first started to model Privacy Consent Directive in FHIR, we had just finished (mostly finished) the CDA Privacy Consent Directive. Break away from Contract.

Thus lacking this permission, the FHIR Server would silently blind the user to any data that is restricted by Consent. I might blog further on these potential solutions. So in addition to the normal Role-Based-Access-Control, there would be an additional ‘permission’ that would be necessary for a user to be able to declare break-glass.
