I was asked for recommendation for a set of resources that would give a good introduction to IHE: One always wishes they could create new material, but realistically there exists plenty of resources already published that can be leveraged: Is it general intro to what is IHE?

I am giving a tutorial at the HL7 workgroup meeting in Atlanta. There are still openings, so please look to register for my class. My tutorial is Thursday morning, covering two quarters, about 3 hours. My tutorial is “FHIR Security and Privacy (TH15)” Not Hacking Unfortunately I did not provide a description for my tutorial, so
I assume anyone reading my blog has already seen this announcement on FireLy, Grahame, HL7, Hay on FHIR, etc. Go read those for the specific details, no good reason for me to duplicate them. What I will do is focus on the opportunity for Patient to drive for Innovations in Privacy. Most of the other
In the past two weeks I have been in large audience discussions where there is a very different kind of topic being discussed around Health Information Technology. The topic is about a vision of how things could/should be at the point of care because of successful interoperability. It is not explicitly said that way. These
Most discussions about FHIR are simple interaction diagrams like this: Many Sources (n != 1) The Real story needs to consider that the “Source” above is a single box representing 10,000 potential source systems that hold data about the patient: (map is a static view of CareQuality network) More important is that the above map

This week the ITI and PCC face-to-face meeting approved new/updated FHIR conformance resources (ImplementationGuide, StructureDefintion, CapabilityStatement, ValueSet, CodeSystem, and OperationDefinition) for publication. These have been aligned with FHIR R4. * PIXm — supplement soon to be released to Public Comment* NPFS — supplement soon to be released to Public Comment* (mACM) — supplement soon to
There is a new standard from IETF – ACME — https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8555/ Abstract Public Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) certificates are used for a number of purposes, the most significant of which is the authentication of domain names. Thus, certification authorities (CAs) in the Web PKI are trusted to verify that an applicant for a certificate legitimately
I get the following question about every other month. Here is the version I just responded to: In this project I encountered a requirement to use SHA-256. Apparently this was in reaction to the SHA-1 collision vulnerability (https://shattered.io/) from late 2017. IHE XDS requires the hash to be SHA-1. Have you heard of any requests
The HIPAA Accounting of Disclosures is obsolete and dangerous. Patients are expected to become more engaged with their healthcare and do this using applications.
