These #AI text generation algorithms are getting scarily good at general code, blogs and poems. But does it work on something so niche as @HL7 #FHIR?

My testing below šŸ‘‡
Let's start simple, please generate me a #FHIR patient resource with a name and birth date. And yes āœ… it generates a flawless Patient instance with a name and birthDate value (that validates with no issues: simplifier.net/snippet/wardweā€¦)

It even includes some extra explanation... Image
Let's make it a bit harder.

This algorithm remembers our previous conversation, so we can just continue with asking it to add an extension for capturing the patient's 'Race' value, for which the US Core IG has a common extension: hl7.org/fhir/us/core/Sā€¦ šŸ‘‡ Image

Everyone else is napping at this time, so Iā€™m finally getting around to my first read through of #TheSANERRule. I havenā€™t quite started yet, but am hoping that what I find can make that label stick. federalregister.gov/documents/2022ā€¦
federalregister.gov/d/2022-08268/pā€¦ says: ā€œwould also revise the hospital and critical access hospital (CAH) conditions of participation (CoPs) for infection prevention and control and antibiotic stewardship programsā€, this is why I might call it #TheSANERRule, and where I will focus.
#TheSANERRule has 638 pages in print form govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FRā€¦, and covers a number of additional topics. Iā€™m expecting that somewhere around 200-250 pages matter to me.

1/16 So, a long weekend to reflect on @DHRewired last week. After a couple of dog-walks and marathon poo-picking sessions, plenty of time to think. I keep coming back to the #frontline #digitisation programme. I offer this constructively. If you want to discuss, contact me ImageImage
2/16 The session with the biggest impact was #Tim #Ferris. He talked about his experience in Boston at Mass Gen and he stressed that once theyā€™d put a single system in across 8 hospitals, all staff were part of one team and they were all on the same page for every patient
3/16 What greatly troubled me is that there was no acknowledgement in the world of ICS where we are driving vertical integration, we cannot be working on a single system

Read through tweet through now starting on @alissaknight's PLAYING WITH #FHIR: HACKING AND SECURING FHIR APIS report.

I'm going to read and give you my stream of consciousness as I'm reading. I'll blog about it later.

These are my notes, and the tag is #HackingFHIR
P1: "Alissa Knight has spent the last year focusing on hacking
Fast Healthcare Interoperability and Resources (FHIR) APIs,... #HackingFHIR
Yup, I read her last report on a related topic, and can attest there's a big investment in time, and her credentials are solid as a white hat hacker #HackingFHIR

I have found most non-technical explanations of FHIR (šŸ”„) to be unsatisfactory. Key things to know are as followsā€¦ 1/šŸ§µ
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) defines a standard way to organize health data. By having a standard, a computer programmer can write an application (app) that requests data from a source location without having to ask anyone how the data are organized. 2/
This means that a computer application can be written once and work the same no matter which source (e.g., hospital) it requests data from. This is called interoperability. 3/

Here's a fun #NINO - the UK's National Insurance Number - [Thread] to start the weekend šŸ‘‡

Maybe I should do an #NHSnumber one sometime? It's a fascinating story, which (ironically) starts with these...
[With thanks to @guy_herbert, @TomSamaki, @PrivacyMatters & others for encouragement!]

Before I start a geeky 'deep dive' on the #NHSnumber, to provide some (personal/professional) context that will hopefully become apparent, I'll just drop these two images here:
So, to begin.

After the Second World War, in a time when we started to think (again) what a #civilised society would be, and when our leaders tried to agree #principles like #UDHR that might prevent the recurrence of genocide, and support #dignity and #HumanRights for all...

Hey patient activists - do you know of dangerous errors in someone's medical record, the kind that can cause harm or diagnostic errors? Want to help improve that?

#NewHIPAA Proposed Privacy Rule Thread starting. These are my notes, there'll be a blog post summarizing these later. 1/??? And I'm not even going to try to count these or tag all with #NewHIPAA, I'll just keep them in this thread.

357 pages, PDF here: hhs.gov/sites/default/ā€¦
Basically this is needed because healthcare providers say "I can't do that b/c HIPAA, and patients say "yes you can", and lawyers say "but ...", and trees, we need to save some trees.

A lot of the input on this rule came from a request for information in 2018.
The big points are: Give me my damn data, and let me take notes, and do it faster, and you can get it in the form and format that you ask for, w/o having to bring umpteen forms of id, clarifying when you can be charged, changing the fee structure, making fees more transparent ...

A tweetstorm that will make some people mad. I apologize in advance.

There are two perspectives on the IHE SOAP-based specifications (primarily XDS, XCA and XCPD), not mutually exclusive
2)
a) They have worked in practice, so should not be ripped and replaced
b) They are legacy technology and we should work on more modern alternatives.

A 3rd perspective, enshrined in #TEFCA #QTF is:
c) We should continue to make them the core of our health infrastructure
3)

The world "legacy" makes people mad -- my perspective is that technology moves on regardless of whether we like it or not. Some standards, particularly low level networking standards, have stood the test of time, some have... not
