How waiting times in hospital emergency departments can be shortened to lower the risks of adverse events and quality problems that can be averted by seeing patients sooner. We also saw the use of blockchain, AI and cognitive computing, smartphones, neural networks, among other tools in the digital health toolkit.

FHIR and APIs. New proposed standards for interoperability and new FHIR standards for letting systems share health information, as well as facilitating patient access through open APIs, recently made waves through the healthcare landscape. If they aren’t on your list of concerns, Finn says they should be.

FHIR Foundation member Wes Rishel ( @wrishel ), who’s a FHIR user, and also was a Gartner Analyst before he retired, graciously made this contribution that I could post here.

This will be the first post in a short series that considers a very useful interaction – accessing Laboratory data such as blood tests from a repository of data via (of course) a FHIR API. There are 2 core resources, and a number of supporting ones. Which one we choose will depend on what the repository holds. Not all that elegant.).

As FHIR continues to mature, one of the things we’re seeing is a move away from ‘simple’ data representation Implementation Guides to more complex ones that describe a workflow of some sort. To test this out, I chose a simple use case that uses FHIR notifications to let relatives know when a person is admitted to hospital.

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.

It is better to put pointers (to FHIR Servers) onto the chain. Thus there will be many FHIR Servers that hold your data (might be others than FHIR, but why bother mentioning them). However probably best to presume many FHIR servers. permissioned chains, or encrypted, etc). So pointers are good, data are bad.
