Summary

This document provides various resource definitions for critical aspects of healthcare information, including 'Security,' 'Consent Management,' and 'Data Provenance.' These resources offer structured rules detailing who has what permissions to access data, under what conditions, and how the reliability and history of that information must be tracked.

Details

This material represents a collection of core resource definitions from FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) r5, focusing on the security and governance aspects of medical data. Key components include structured classes like 'Consent' and 'Permission,' which record patient choices regarding data usage. These allow for detailed specification of who can perform what actions under specific purposes and timeframes. The 'AuditEvent' related resources are used to log operational history (audit logs), forming the basis for privacy and security analysis. Furthermore, the 'Provenance' resource describes the process by which data is generated or delivered, indicating its reliability, authenticity, and lifecycle status. These definitions provide the technical foundation necessary to implement crucial elements like 'data confidentiality,' 'user consent management,' and 'traceability' in modern healthcare IT systems.
