Speeding up Patient Identification, Consent, and Data Exchange: Insights from HL7 FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST)
Speeding up Patient Identification, Consent, and Data Exchange - RamaOnHealthcare
Co-chairs of RamaOnHealthcare discussed methods for improving patient identification, consent management, and data exchange using FHIR.
Summary
Jason Teeple of Evernorth and Duncan Weatherston of Smile Digital Health highlighted key challenges in healthcare data interoperability. They stressed that successful exchange requires more than just transmitting data; it necessitates improving the entire process, including identifying correct destinations, patient identification, security measures, and obtaining patient consent.

This article summarizes insights from co-chairs of the HL7 FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST). The discussion emphasizes that achieving true interoperability goes beyond merely sending data. Critical components include establishing a directory for identifying the right destination, implementing robust patient identification and security practices, and ensuring proper patient consent. According to Jason Teeple, setting up health data exchange between two organizations currently requires an extensive process of reviewing standards and configuring connections, often taking three to five months. The core challenge identified is the urgent need to significantly reduce this setup time.
