In the USA and elsewhere, there are Document Sharing based HealthInformation Exchanges. The solution is to leverage this existing solution, and just add FHIR. The PUSH model is used to convey information to a specified recipient. Just add FHIRFHIR is a content format. So IPS over XCA.
This profile shows how to build a Document Sharing Exchange using IHE profiled FHIR® standard, rather than the legacy IHE profiles that is dominated by XDS and HL7® v2. This profile will assemble profiles and define a Document Registry. The actor that is specific to this profile is a Document Registry. 3 - Section 4.0
I already have one proposal for the transition from the current Federated HealthInformation Exchange to supporting FHIR, that is based on a transition from CDA to FHIR-Documents. Note that just because the content being published is a "Document" does not mean that it must be consumed as a document.
eHealth Exchange , a non-profit started by Health & Human Services and now a separate non-profit, helps health care institutions exchange over two billion records a month. In this video, President Jay Nakashima explains the role they play, particularly in public health, scaling FHIR and TEFCA.
Most of the data that we are looking to share is highly sensitive healthinformation, the kind of information that cybercriminals love to hold for ransom. A clear definition of what is considered sensitive information subject to such rules and directives has not yet been established.
The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) standards profiling organization has developed a collection of profiles which can be leveraged for use by healthcare communities for the purposes of document sharing. There is also a model in MHDS for those that have no legacy environment that builds the full infrastructure using FHIR services.
The first is the ability to exchange a list of health data locations, which enables Record Locator Services to interoperate with consumers wishing to discover the location of patient records within a healthinformation exchange. Document Sharing Across Network Topologies- Rev.
How does one put a FHIRDocument into XDS? How does one find a FHIRDocument in XDS? XDS, more broadly the whole Document Sharing family, including XDS , XCA , XDR , XDM , and MHD. Initially Document Sharing was about 'historic' documents. Thus the Document is "Shared". Let me explain.
Because there’s so much happening out there in healthcare IT we aren’t able to cover in our full articles, we still want to make sure you’re informed of all the latest news, announcements, and stories happening to help you better do your job. Healthinformation network Availity appointed Sean Barrett as Chief Product Officer.
The biggest impact I had this year: IHE whitepaper on HealthInformation Exchange models (3.7k) From Implementation-Guide to IHE-Connectathon (2.7k) Healthcare use of Identity level of assurance (2k) When is a document not a Document but still a document?
They have advanced the current TEFCA implementation which is based on the 1990’s IHE document exchange protocols with a brokerage model (QHIN) overlay. Today TEFCA only supports document exchange and frankly largely within legacy EHR vendors who have familiarity with the IHE protocols.
The IHE-MHDS does not define a Document Repository Actor but does include architecture support for distributed FHIR Servers and thus the concept of a Document Repository is included in MHDS. For example: XCA also does not make a distinction between a Document Registry or Document Repository, having a Responding Gateway Actor.
I might suggest that a potential solution is as a journal of public pseudonyms linked to data access points (FHIR API) and authorization servers. The patient would initiate this, get their pseudonym, scrub their data as much as they want while still adhering to structure (FHIR profile) and integrity (hard to enforce) rules.
Mostly they keep trying because the most basic query is just asking for all documents available for a given Patient. These are useful, just not very primary for a general purpose Document Consumer. Where these classifications are useful to a Document Consumer. Thus one can ask for documents covering treatment prior to 1998.
This winter quarter will be a lighter load, recognizing the holidays: Patient Scheduling, prospective look at FHIR R5/6, and evaluating impact of Gender Harmony. The Document Subscription for Mobile (DSUBm) profile describes the use of document subscription and notification mechanisms for RESTful applications.
Just a few weeks ago, CommonWell was announced as one of six applicants—along with eHealth Exchange, Epic TEFCA Interoperability Systems, Health Gorilla, Kno2 and Konza— accepted to continue in the onboarding process to become a Qualified HealthInformation Network (QHIN) under TEFCA. billion documents to date.
The Mobile HealthDocuments (MHD) profile was born to provide a more simple API to an XDS environment. This happened to be the same timeframe that Grahame was fanning the FHIR flames. So we joined forces and brought the concepts needed for XDS into FHIR®. So now, I take those FHIR based Resources and re-write the profile.
This is a new FHIR specification that expresses what a International Patient Summary (IPS) would look like. This is a FHIR-Document, much like a CDA Document, but using FHIR fundamentals rather than the HL7 v3 model that is the basis of CDA. I think this approach to the question is missing a key point.
I propose that “The most technically advanced” document format be considered the Prime, with all of the other formats considered Transforms (XFRM) from that prime document. Thus if the Document Source can create a C-CDA 2.1; Yet if a Document Source only can create a C32 and PDF, then the C32 would be the prime.
Formal Publication -- [link] The Sharing of IPS (sIPS) IHE Profile provides for methods of exchanging the HL7 International Patient Summary (IPS) , using IHE Document Sharing HealthInformation Exchange but does not modify the HL7 IPS specification, nor is there any need to change IHE Document Sharing HealthInformation Exchange.
On Friday last week, an article by Wendy John was published by Wild Health , in which I’m quoted as saying, regarding the My Health Record and the Strengthening Medicare Taskforce report : FHIR guru Grahame Grieve has advocated for interoperability standards in healthcare for over two decades. It’s a difference that matters.
About NYeC New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) is a not-for-profit organization working in partnership with the New York State Department of Health to improve healthcare by collaboratively leading, connecting, and integrating healthinformation exchange across the State.
The ONC Cures Act APIs and the companion CMS Access APIs all require these modern FHIR-based technologies and are fundamentally designed to grow a vibrant digital health economy providing choice and value to consumers. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers.
The overall models between XD* and FHIR are the same. Centralized Administration In XDS This architecture is long standing Document Sharing HealthInformation Exchange based around PIX and XDS. Thus enabling discovery of cross-referenced patient identity, and discovery of documents related to that patient.
In addition to the conversion, the scope of the Access Control Decision and Enforcement is expanded beyond the Document Repository to the other services in a HealthInformation Exchange -- Community. Very focused on #FHIR, but also enabled by existing and successful XDS/XCA HealthInformation Exchange.
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. for "_confidentiality".
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. These challenges can be effectively addressed through several strategies.
DirectTrust is adopting a FHIR-based approach to making updates to its provider directory , which contains more than 1 million addresses. DirectTrust President and CEO Scott Stuewe talked to John about what this project entails and how it will make a difference for information sharing.
So we in the Interoperability space MUST be succeeding with all the efforts to create HealthInformation Exchanges, and to enable Patient to access their data. A document entry has a unique ID. Duplicate Document UniqueID The Document UniqueID is an absolute proof of duplicate documents. Well, yes and no.
Consequences for non-participation are currently unclear, although providers may be cited for non-compliance with federal information blocking regulations which, according to the recent HHS proposed rule could be up to $1 million per violation. Of note, the XCPD, XCA, and XDR profiles do not currently support FHIR natively.
Some examples where BPPC are used: Connecticut HIE: For release of Privileged Care information, a consent document SHALL be registered with HITE-CT in the form of a BPPC conformant document using the Opt-in for Legally Protected Data (ALL) policy. All Opt-in documents SHALL include an expiration date. Table 10.2.3-1

Like most of us, Andy Oram has a health insurance card in his wallet. Here’s what he learned about SMART Health, FHIR, registries, EHR integrations, and other technology that could support digital insurance cards in the not-too-distant future.

State documents define rules for collecting, storing, processing, and transmitting medical information. In Europe, this is GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), in America, it’s HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). CDA supports document exchange among all structures involved in patient care.
Where the combined list is available in FHIR as a ValueSet of FormatCodes (updated in current build ) Important background :: Eating an Elephant -- How to approach IHE documentation on HealthInformation Exchange (HIE) and Healthcare Metadata The FormatCode is there to differentiate 'technical format'. is one FormatCode.
Interoperable Consent Standards My main focus is on enabling HealthInformation to flow given proper Security and Privacy. That is to say that a custodial organization obtains consent, manages consent, and enforces consent with no visibility to the exchange beyond the enforcement of releasing documents or not.
This is an alternative to SMART-on-FHIR, and not intended to be conflicting. An update to the HIE-Whitepaper , bringing in the newly build FHIR based profiles. IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework Documents Published. This document is available at [link]. This document is available at [link].
