Title:
Patient Empowerment Using the International Patient Summary and Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound Health Links
Description:
The International Patient Summary (IPS) is a standard for sharing essential health information developed through a cross-standards development organization (SDO) initiative and supported by global programs for digital health, such as the Global Digital Health Partnership. The IPS is one of the first FHIR® (FHIR®) document standards and establishes how structured data can be shared worldwide using controlled vocabularies and terminologies. This session will review progress globally on the adoption and implementation of the IPS. This will include an overview of IPS examples, open-source tools to visualize IPS documents and initial demonstrations of patient-mediated exchange using Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound (SMART) Health Links. In addition, this session will review the recently updated IPS FHIR® standard and how it relates to other national and international standards for health information.
