HL7 International maintains FHIR as the standard for electronic healthcare information exchange.
Summary
This page provides resources detailing various healthcare standards, including HL7 FHIR, which supports information sharing across Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Specific guidelines are provided for implementing data privacy protection, such as DS4P, and consent management via PCF.

Details
This resource compilation introduces key technical standards foundational to medical information exchange. The core standard is HL7 FHIR, adopted by many EHR systems to enable cross-organizational information sharing. For privacy concerns, derived standards like 'Data Segmentation for Privacy in FHIR (DS4P)' and 'Privacy Consent on FHIR (PCF)' are highlighted. DS4P is noted as the only standard supported by the US government for segmented health data sharing. Furthermore, initiatives addressing modern challenges include the 'Gravity Project' for Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) information sharing, and 'User Managed Access (UMA)' for individual control over third-party data access. Additionally, the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC), provided by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), serves as a repository for public value sets created by external programs, supporting standardized data utilization. Collectively, these standards offer comprehensive frameworks that go beyond mere technical specifications, aiming to solve societal issues within healthcare systems such as privacy, consent management, and equitable information sharing.
