There’s a new report out that finds lots of security vulnerabilities in FHIR implementations, both client and server. Unforunately, the media write up isn’t entirely accurate: In fact, every tested FHIR app enabled API access to patient healthdata belonging to other individuals.
– Microsoft has announced advancements in cloud technologies for healthcare and life sciences with the general availability of Azure HealthData Services and updates to Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare. The goal of Azure HealthData Services is interoperability that drives better patient outcomes and clinical advances.
Healthcare software vendors prioritize projects that use HL7 ® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR ® ) over those built on other standards for many reasons. Because FHIR resources have a defined structure, they can be accessed, manipulated, and exchanged in ways that other standards aren’t today.
While that may not affect an individual patient whose data is included in the data set, it affects patient outcomes overall because it allows us to analyze the data and provide early interventions and programs. Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Keeping patient data safe and private is our top priority.
Amazon Web Services is rolling out a new tool designed to make it simpler for healthcare organizations to work with their data. Amazon HealthLake, which AWS describes as “HIPAA-eligible,” was launched during Amazon’s annual re:Invent conference.

Marlena Herrera, Director, Customer Success at Protegrity The alignment and culmination of technologies and standards to address interoperability and data sharing will improve the ability of providers to provide quality healthcare services to their patients. These API protocols are known and used by hundreds of thousands of developers.
They serve as intermediaries, facilitating the secure and efficient exchange of healthdata between different systems and organisations. Data Security: TIEs implement robust security measures to protect patient data privacy and confidentiality.
FHIR-based API usage by Payers (Government and Commercial) in the next few years will usher in enriched datasets to TEFCA networks. There is a need for partnership between public-private players to develop patient engagement applications (SMART on FHIR) for better access to data. Data-sharing and interoperability are key.
There is no shortage of data in healthcare In the last decade, we have witnessed the near-ubiquitous adoption of EHRs, the proliferation of medical devices, the expansion of genetic testing, and the rise of patient-generated healthdata. If you find the 154 services slightly overwhelming, fear not.
HIPAA vs HIPPA – Fun Friday – I’m glad some humor made the top list since I enjoy humor as much or more than the next person. Where Are We At With FHIR? Big Bet on FHIR Pays Off. Clean, Usable HealthData and the Impact of Sharing Data with Partners. Although, this article is from 2012.
Data types to be shared While the electronic exchange of clinical data is becoming more routine between healthcare entities, the exchange of social determinants of healthdata (e.g. The CA DxF includes both clinical and social determinants data. access to housing and food) is less common.
This requires a variety of technical strategies and ongoing collaboration for the industry to converge and embrace emerging standards for healthcare data interoperability, such as HL7 FHIR and the Argonaut Project. The 21st Century Cures Act will make digital healthdata even more accessible with the call for open APIs.
There are many standards efforts to develop support for Patient directed Authorization to their healthdata. Addressing many different perspectives including BAA, Government reporting, and special sensitive health topics. One can't simply have a code "HIPAA" which is understood everywhere as meaning the same thing.
Read more… HealthData Exchange Moves to the Cloud. John and Colin highlight some of the top regulatory changes in store for 2024, including FHIR being part of TEFCA and information blocking penalties going into effect. Read more… Best Practices for Securing Healthcare Data in AWS.
In essence, blockchain could help reshape healthcare interoperability by serving as a next-generation middleware that couples healthdata with decentralized, distributed, and immutable qualities, according to a new report by IDC Health Insights. "You get to determine who you share it with.
Amazon announces the availability of six new HIPAA-compliant Alexa healthcare skills. Readers Write: Systems Integration with SMART on FHIR ? Readers Write: File-Sharing And HIPAA – How You Can Keep HealthData Secure in an Era of Collaboration. In Case You Missed It. News 4/5/19. EPtalk by Dr. Jayne 4/4/19.
To ensure data integrity, HIM teams play a vital role in managing the EMPI (enterprise master patient index), a tool used to link patient records across different care settings within a healthcare system. The integration of new tools also improves operational efficiency while supporting the quality of our nations healthdata.
The most notable approval is USCDI v3, and others include two implementation guides from CMS for Quality Reporting Document Architecture and three HL7 standards (for C-CDA, FHIR, and QRDA). ONC has approved six standards as part of its annual annual Standards Version Advancement Process.
As such, as a regulator for a day, I’d implement critical clarification and updates of HIPAA, its scope and classification when it comes to medical guidance from AI-powered tools, outline the responsibility and liability of AI, and explore the selling of data for profit without transparency and consent.
This means you will need to maintain your existing connections to ensure broad access to patient healthdata for some time even after you begin participating in TEFCA. But until that happens, maximizing access to patient records hinges on maintaining your existing healthdata connections. The Common Agreement (CA) 2.0
APIs, Internet of (Healthy) Things, and AR/VR among the others are getting deployed in retail channels and at home to support peoples’ health in the real world, in real time outside of the clinical setting. For health care, the application of FHIR standards helps mobilize data for better health, turbocharging this trend.
