Evolution of Health Information Sharing Between Health Care Organizations: Potential of Nonfungible Tokens

Evolution of Health Information Sharing Between Health Care Organizations: Potential of Nonfungible Tokens

NFTs, as blockchain-based cryptographic assets that denote proof of ownership for digital objects, can be used in health care to authenticate digital PHI. All test results, treatments, medications, prescriptions, and care plans were considered PHI. NFTs can be produced on permissioned or federated blockchains, which provide a digital token of ownership for PHI.

An Efficient Method for Deidentifying Protected Health Information in Chinese Electronic Health Records: Algorithm Development and Validation

An Efficient Method for Deidentifying Protected Health Information in Chinese Electronic Health Records: Algorithm Development and Validation

An intuitive method to prevent privacy leakage is deidentifying the protected health information (PHI) [3] in EHRs before information processing. PHI is classified into 18 different types by the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [4], such as name, ID number, location, date, and age. The process of deidentifying PHI can be divided into 2 steps: locating the PHI in the EHR and replacing it with information that is not sensitive.

Doctors Routinely Share Health Data Electronically Under HIPAA, and Sharing With Patients and Patients’ Third-Party Health Apps is Consistent: Interoperability and Privacy Analysis

In the HITECH Act, Congress requires that physicians who use EHRs give patients electronic copies of their protected health information (PHI) and also requires that physicians who use EHRs follow a direction from a patient to transmit the patient’s PHI electronically to any person, entity, or application the patient chooses [1,5,6].
