Details
This document serves as the xShare Yellow Button Implementation Guide v0.2.0, built upon FHIR R4. It details two critical processes for establishing a secure data sharing mechanism: 'Claiming Conformance' and 'Proving Conformance'. To claim conformance, implementers must specify which features they support (e.g., download, one-time share), the roles played, and supported options. A key requirement is that access must be restricted to authenticated Natural Persons. For proving conformance, specific technical demonstrations are required. For instance, a provider offering 'Download' functionality must demonstrate user authentication compliant with European Regulations, ensure only authenticated natural persons can search for data, and validate that the content (e.g., Patient Summary) is available in the selected target format. The 'One-time share' process requires not only restricted access but also the generation and validation of a valid Smart Health Link (SHL Manifest). These requirements provide concrete steps to ensure security and standardization in healthcare data exchange, contributing significantly to interoperability in global health IT.
