There is renewed discussion, much like back in January, around the need to go beyond testing just the FHIR Resource 'interoperability'. A 'system' in the broadest of definitions. This reference system needs to pick a minimum-useful set of FHIR resource centric workflows. This is more than just a selection of FHIR Resources.

This is described in the Enabling Document Sharing through IHE Profiles white paper (HIE using IHE). 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. Each document shared is described by metadata.

Great move for HISPS to use FHIR to update the directory versus batch file updates. My favorite piece of this is the move to FHIR updates versus the current batch file updates. Definitely a superior solution, but also is going to take some development work by vendors to switch to this new approach.

Etienne Boshoff, Managing Director at EHR Enhancify Healthcare interoperability is advancing through the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), standardized APIs like FHIR, and emerging technologies such as blockchain. Policies like the 21st Century Cures Act and ONC/CMS rules enhance data access and prevent information blocking.

A clear definition of what is considered sensitive information subject to such rules and directives has not yet been established. TEFCA proposes that the adoption of FHIR access with OAuth2.0 will help in providing secure access through third-party entities/applications.

The recommendation I give here is restricted to the gross level: for Document Sharing at the XDS/XCA/DocumentReference metadata level; for FHIR REST at the returned Bundle.meta.security level, but not on each Resource in the Bundle; and for CDA at the CDA header, but not on each element. Available from the FHIR specification for easy reading.

We can't change Healthcare by writing very complex standards like the current FHIR ConsentDirective , which is fundamentally a " Contract " resource. First I recommend that FHIR make ConsentDirective a resource rather than just profiles of Contract. Essentially the common HIE policies from BPPC.

Given XDS and XCA interactions that are often used in an Health Information Exchange (HIE), or a National Health Information Exchange (NHIE); there is no standards/profiled way to enable a point-of-care consent gathering workflow. So today, if Consent is not already captured, and needed, then data access is blocked.
