The FHIR Standard doesn’t say much about security. There are, however, many different valid approaches to making a server secure, so the FHIR standard delegates making rules about security to other specifications such as the Smart App Launch Specification. A security appliance is not enough.

In a number of contexts, people are using FHIR in production to make or report on patient appointments. How to represent this in FHIR: Mark an appointment as a virtual appointment. But it’s where the patient is not going to turn up in person and some mixture of phone and/or video meeting service is going to be used.

The IPS is a Document, and there is a definition for this document using CDA and using FHIR. The FHIR Document is the one most are interested in. At the technical level, they are equivalent, and they meet the same abstract definition defined by ISO/CEN. But FHIR is the hot new standard, so everyone wants to use it.

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.

I just finished a very long week in Cologne at the HL7 workgroup meeting and FHIR Connectathon. I had the idea that I could host a discussion of how to use FHIR in a GDPR compliant organization. So I created a FHIR Connectathon track. Thus FHIR includes many capabilities that can be leveraged to meet GDPR needs.

Because every health plan has unique payment rules and medical policies, the process currently lacks the kinds of automated checks that other systems have, and that would ensure that information submitted by the practice meets plan requirements for a pre-approval evaluation.

In discussions with implementers, one question that has come up quite a lot recently is whether you should store FHIR resources natively in your database or not. In principle, FHIR resources (like all HL7 specifications) are designed for exchange between systems, rather than as a database storage format.
