3b. Project Need

Now that patients have the ability to download their data into FHIR applications, they are finding errors in their data. The Patient Corrections FHIR implementation guide standardizes the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for corrections and the electronic communication that reflects the workflow of the correction process. Patients and caregivers serve as requesters, and healthcare providers (as well as other data stewards) serve as the fulfillers. This guide includes workflow for requests, acceptances, denials, extensions, disagreements, and rebuttals. This guide provides a way to electronically communicate the workflow for correction requests in a manner consistent with expectations set by the HIPAA Amendment Implementation Specification and GDPR.

3b. Project Need

Now that patients have the ability to download their data into FHIR applications, they are finding errors in their data. Currently, no FHIR implementation guide exists to standardize the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for corrections to their information. This implementation guide will provide a FHIR based standard for the communication of required data elements according to the HIPAA implementation guidelines.

HIPAA has a very detailed implementation specification for a patient’s request for corrections to their information. (See regulation here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2003-title45-vol1/xml/CFR-2003-title45-vol1-sec164-526.xml) This process is usually handled via mail or phone conversations, making a “paper trail” more difficult to manage. It is also very burdensome for patients and health organizations because of the lengthy process of exchange of information through mail or multiple phone calls. As portals have become more popular since the initial release of this HIPAA regulation, some patients and health organizations have begun to manage the request electronically.

HIPAA and GDPR are very similar in their regulations concerning patients’ rights to have their data corrected. There are minor differences in the period of time for covered entities to respond to the patient’s initial request for corrections and the preference in GDPR for a means for patient requests to be made electronically. GDPR has no detailed implementation specification, so we will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both regulations. Our goal is to consider patient corrections in a global context but our focus in this guide is to follow the HIPAA implementation guidelines due to the details provided in that guide.

Currently, no FHIR implementation guide exists to standardize the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for corrections to their information. This implementation guide will provide a FHIR based standard for the communication of required data elements according to the HIPAA implementation guidelines.

HIPAA has a very detailed implementation specification for a patient’s request for corrections to their information. (See regulation here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2003-title45-vol1/xml/CFR-2003-title45-vol1-sec164-526.xml) This process is usually handled via mail or phone conversations, making a “paper trail” more difficult to manage. It is also very burdensome for patients and health organizations because of the lengthy process of exchange of information through mail or multiple phone calls. As portals have become more popular since the initial release of this HIPAA regulation, some patients and health organizations have begun to manage the request electronically.

HIPAA and GDPR are very similar in their regulations concerning patients’ rights to have their data corrected. There are minor differences in the period of time for covered entities to respond to the patient’s initial request for corrections and the preference in GDPR for a means for patient requests to be made electronically. GDPR has no detailed implementation specification, so we will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both regulations. Our goal is to consider patient corrections in a global context but our focus in this guide is to follow the HIPAA implementation guidelines due to the details provided in that guide.

3a. Project Scope

The purpose of this project is to build a FHIR Implementation Guide to provide a standard way to communicate information required to support a patient request for corrections workflow.

Attachments

3b. Project Need

Now that patients have the ability to download their data into FHIR applications, they are finding errors in their data. Currently, no FHIR implementation guide exists to standardize the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for corrections to their information. This implementation guide will provide a FHIR based standard for the communication of required data elements according to the HIPAA implementation guidelines.

HIPAA has a very detailed implementation specification for a patient’s request for corrections to their information. (See regulation here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2003-title45-vol1/xml/CFR-2003-title45-vol1-sec164-526.xml) This process is usually handled via mail or phone conversations, making a “paper trail” more difficult to manage. It is also very burdensome for patients and health organizations because of the lengthy process of exchange of information through mail or multiple phone calls. As portals have become more popular since the initial release of this HIPAA regulation, some patients and health organizations have begun to manage the request electronically.

HIPAA and GDPR are very similar in their regulations concerning patients’ rights to have their data corrected. There are minor differences in the period of time for covered entities to respond to the patient’s initial request for corrections and the preference in GDPR for a means for patient requests to be made electronically. GDPR has no detailed implementation specification, so we will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both regulations. Our goal is to consider patient corrections in a global context but our focus in this guide is to follow the HIPAA implementation guidelines due to the details provided in that guide.

3c. Security Risk

No

3d. External Drivers

Patients have more access to their data via FHIR. Moving the paper-based process to electronic process using FHIR.

3a. Project Scope

The purpose of this project is to build a FHIR Implementation Guide to provide a standard way to communicate information required to support a patient request for corrections workflow. We will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both HIPAA and GDPR regulations. Our goal is to consider patient corrections in a global context but our focus in this guide is to follow the HIPAA implementation guidelines due to the details provided in that guide.

3b. Project Need

Now that patients have the ability to download their data into FHIR applications, they are finding errors in their data. Currently, no FHIR implementation guide exists to standardize the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for corrections to their information. This implementation guide will provide a FHIR based standard for the communication of required data elements according to the HIPAA implementation guidelines.

HIPAA has a very detailed implementation specification for a patient’s request for corrections to their information. (See regulation here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2003-title45-vol1/xml/CFR-2003-title45-vol1-sec164-526.xml) This process is usually handled via mail or phone conversations, making a “paper trail” more difficult to manage. It is also very burdensome for patients and health organizations because of the lengthy process of exchange of information through mail or multiple phone calls. As portals have become more popular since the initial release of this HIPAA regulation, some patients and health organizations have begun to manage the request electronically.

HIPAA and GDPR are very similar in their regulations concerning patients’ rights to have their data corrected. There are minor differences in the period of time for covered entities to respond to the patient’s initial request for corrections and the preference in GDPR for a means for patient requests to be made electronically. GDPR has no detailed implementation specification, so we will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both regulations. Our goal is to consider patient corrections in a global context but our focus in this guide is to follow the HIPAA implementation guidelines due to the details provided in that guide.

3b. Project Need

HIPAA has a very detailed implementation specification for a patient’s request for amendment to their PHI. (See regulation here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2003-title45-vol1/xml/CFR-2003-title45-vol1-sec164-526.xml) This process is usually handled via mail or phone conversations, making a “paper trail” more difficult to manage. It is also very burdensome for patients and health organizations because of the lengthy process of exchange of information through mail or multiple phone calls. As portals have become more popular since the initial release of this HIPAA regulation, some patients and health organizations have begun to manage the request electronically.
Currently, no FHIR implementation guide exits to standardize the method of electronically exchanging the required information to facilitate the patient’s request for amendment to their PHI. This implementation guide will provide a FHIR based standard for the communication of required data elements according to the HIPAA guidelines.
HIPAA and GDPR are very similar in their regulations concerning patients’ rights to have their data amended. There are minor differences in the period of time for covered entities to respond to the patient’s initial request for corrections and the preference in GDPR for a means for patient requests to be made electronically. GDPR has no detailed implementation specification, so we will use the HIPAA specifications for our basis because it includes the patient rights outlined in both regulations.

3a. Project Scope

Now that patients are able to retrieve their records via the FHIR API, there will be more focus on incorrect/missing data in the EHR. HIPAA gives the right to a patient to request amendments to their chart. The old way is via a paper request. We would like to provide a new electronic way using FHIR.

  1. Interested Parties and Co-Sponsors: These should be workgroups.  I think we should encourage cosponsors and interested parties.  I think Patient Care and Patient Administration would be good examples here.  Also, perhaps Emergency Care would like to be an interested party.  And perhaps CBCP or Security have an angle.


    Project Scope currently says: Now that patients are able to retrieve their records via the FHIR API, there will be more focus on incorrect/missing data in the EHR. HIPAA gives the right to a patient to request amendments to their chart. The old way is via a paper request. We would like to provide a new electronic way using FHIR.


    This sounds more like Project Need.  I recommend we move this to Project Need and change to:

    Now that patients are able to retrieve their records via the FHIR API, there will be more focus on incorrect/missing data in the EHR. Laws such as the US HIPAA law gives the right to a patient to request amendments to their chart. The old way is via a paper request. We would like to provide a new electronic way using FHIR.


    I think Project Scope should say:  Create a FHIR implementation guide to support the ability for patients to electronically communicate corrections to their information via FHIR with a focus on the US HIPAA law use case.


    I think those currently listed under interested parties could be stakeholders.
