FHIRBlocks Enables Patient-Directed Data Sharing and Consent Management
FHIRBlocks by Equideum Health - Microsoft Marketplace
Summary
Equideum Health has introduced FHIRBlocks, a solution that enables fine-grained consent management for health data. This allows developers to rapidly build new applications while reducing compliance risks for organizations like providers and payers.
Details
Built on Azure, this solution leverages FHIR, Decentralized Identity, Blockchain, Cryptography, and Fine-Grained Consent Management. It significantly reduces current friction points in data sharing, lessening the risk and burden associated with handling Electronic Health Information (EHI). A key feature is enabling 'patient-directed interoperability,' giving patients control over their health data. For developers, it offers dedicated Consent APIs to accelerate market entry and improve user experience. For EHR Data Custodians (providers, payers, researchers), it lowers the burden of ONC compliance while providing immutable provenance and audit trails. Furthermore, it empowers consumers with visibility and control over sharing preferences, preventing data oversharing. This model aims to establish a highly secure and private data flow for healthcare IT, putting the patient back in control of their information.
