Agenda
- Context / needs
- Identification of other stakeholders
- Position of HL7 Belgium on the FHIR R5 release (to cover the already upcoming questions from players and stakeholders in Belgium)
- Security controls
- Literal references in FHIR resources: need for guidelines ?
- FHIR readiness of Belgian metahub-hub system: see preparation work
Minutes
- all hubs need to be present: Cozo, VNZ, RSW)- Karlien will reach out to them
- first agenda point: security controls - linked to access matrix, see background
- access matrix from eHealth platform need to be mapped to FHIR
- possible solution in security labels if we make it a required field as an extension
- we would need to define a default behavior
- would be at if the label is there, only some attributes would be exposed/shared
- José proposes to start with an implementation guide (not a slide deck) at Belgian level
- the topic relates to work start at HL7 int'l - put scty labels at resource level
- an extension is planned to include an new resource permission (htis person can use these specific data elements)
- starting with scty labels would be a good starting point
- there will be need for guidance for each FHIR release
- Denmark solution: those concepts were modelled independently of the resources
- Steven has implemented solutions that identify the resource (type of info) and not the user
- the application level also defines some rules and behavior of the server
- the access matrix might turn in an unimplementable thing
- the access matrix can change overnight which needs to be taken into account - discussions are still ongoing (paradigm shift)
- attribute base filtering: servers are assumed to filter attributes is concern
- do we have to look at some languages
- These requirements have been identified:
- whatever solution it should be evolutive
- decouple the type of data from the access permissions. So label things as "contains psi information" instead of "can only be accessed by psi people"
- coexistence of consent and permission ruled access controls
- action item: start specification in order to move to implementation guide
- all hubs need to be present: Cozo, VNZ, RSW)- Karlien will reach out to them
- second agenda point: references
- literal references (resources are identified and addressed by their URL) <> logical references (a logical reference to the entity that the target resource would describe without it begin pointing to something that actually exist as a FHIR instance)
- at Vitalink they have built in a logic to determine which kind of reference it is
- do we need a guideline here as HL7 FHIR gives the liberty
- the meeting is adjourned at 10AM as the majority of the people has to leave for another meeting

- Wednesday 25 Jan at 9AM - biweekly schedule is still in need of confirmation due to some stakeholders being absent
