The Patient Choice Technical Project: Patient Consent on FHIR

DESCRIPTION

The Patient Choice Technical Project kicked-off in December 2015. The aim of this project is to assist the healthcare ecosystem by analyzing and developing standards to fulfill the technical capability for implementing and sharing individual consent (basic and granular choice) for health information exchange in healthcare and research settings. The current Phase 2: Basic Choice for Research Consent builds on Phase 1: Basic Choice for Treatment, Payment, & Healthcare Operations (TPO) and aims to develop a solution for implementing interoperable patient consent exchange for purposes of Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR), and various research scenarios.
This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the project’s progress with a specific focus on the outputs of Phase 1 for which Michigan Health Information Network and Shared Services (MiHIN) and the Veterans Health Affairs demonstrated the use of FHIR to capture and exchange patient consent information.
