FHIR Security & Privacy Tutorial

HL7 FHIR Security & Privacy

The HL7 FHIR Security & Privacy online class describes how to protect a FHIR server (through access control and authorization), how to document what permissions a user has granted (consent), how to enable appropriate access by apps and users and how to keep records about what events have been performed (audit logging and provenance).

Update: Here is a later article with links to the recording ($$) and with the links we spoke of and were embedded in the presentation.

This will be a refreshed version of the Tutorial I have given within HL7 before.

My slides are freely available on google sheets at this easy to type address http://bit.ly/FHIR-SecPriv. Each time I give the tutorial I update these master slides. So each time you go there you will see the latest set of slides. Some slides do have notes, and there are additional detail in slides that I don't cover during the tutorial.

In the past, I have had to compress these into two parts, but will be able to give them in the natural three parts
