The revision of CAN/DGSI 103-2 represents a critical step in ensuring the secure and efficient exchange of health information. In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, this update will help organizations strengthen the privacy and security of sensitive patient data while promoting interoperability across health systems.

Really great timing for Digital Governance Council | Conseil de gouvernance numérique updated 103-2 standard as we see a national ground swell and investments within the provinces and territories to give patients more access to and empowerment to share their health data. At IDENTOS Inc. we have been firm believers in the need to drive technology investments and policy to a more citizen / patient centric model to unlock value.

Robust #datagovernance is crucial for successfully adopting #healthtechnology, as it ensures the #privacy and #security of sensitive patient information. With the increasing use of digital health tools and electronic health records (#EHRs), the volume of #healthdata being generated and stored has surged. Effective data governance frameworks help in safeguarding this data against breaches and unauthorized access, maintaining patient trust and compliance with stringent regulations such as #HIPAA and #GDPR. By implementing strict access controls, encryption, and regular audits, healthcare organizations can protect patient data, mitigate risks, and prevent costly #databreaches. Comprehensive #datagovernance enhances data quality and integrity, which are essential for reliable #healthtechnology solutions. High-quality, accurate data is critical for making informed clinical decisions, conducting medical research, and ensuring effective patient care. Data governance practices, such as standardizing data entry procedures and implementing data validation checks, help eliminate errors and inconsistencies in health records. This, in turn, leads to improved patient outcomes, as healthcare providers can rely on precise and comprehensive data for diagnosis and treatment planning. #aihealth #securepatientdata #patientconfidentiality #patientconsent #remotecare #dataprivacy

Implementing eReferral systems at a national level presents several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure successful adoption and integration across the healthcare system. These challenges are often related to technology, interoperability, training, governance, and patient privacy. Interoperability Diverse systems: Healthcare providers across a country often use different electronic health record (EHR) systems and digital tools. Ensuring that eReferral systems can seamlessly communicate across these diverse platforms is a major challenge. Standardization: Establishing national standards for data formats, communication protocols, and terminology is necessary to ensure consistent and accurate information exchange between systems. Integration with Existing Systems Legacy systems: Many healthcare providers may still be using older, legacy systems that are not compatible with modern eReferral platforms. Integrating eReferral into these existing systems can be technically complex and costly. Coordination across sectors: Effective integration requires coordination across various healthcare sectors, including primary care, specialty care, hospitals, and community health services, which may all have different systems and processes. Data Privacy and Security Compliance with regulations: National eReferral systems must comply with stringent data privacy and security regulations (such as GDPR in Europe), which can vary by region and add complexity to the implementation process. Data breach risks: With the increased centralization and digital exchange of patient data, there is a heightened risk of data breaches. Ensuring robust security measures are in place to protect patient information is critical. #ereferral #ehealthservices

### How to improve the communication of data privacy information ### ‘I have read and agree to the Terms’ is one of the biggest lies on the internet and in the realm of digital products. Due to their daunting length and the use of legal jargon, privacy policies are generally incomprehensible and often go unread by users. Ironically, many people have concerns regarding the data privacy and security of electronic health records (EHRs), which are actually the safest digital system in Germany (yes, even safer than online banking!). Obviously, there is significant room for improvement in how the German EHR’s security standards are communicated 😉   Our study (N=117), which I conducted with Marvin Kopka, Jana Appel, and Markus Feufel, explores how the integration of Privacy Fact Sheets (clear and understandable communication of privacy and data security information) could transform user interaction with the EHR. By simplifying the communication of privacy and security standards, we can significantly increase the likelihood of users uploading sensitive health data into the EHR. Our results have shown that longer, more detailed Privacy Fact Sheets effectively reduce privacy concerns and enhance user engagement, which is vital for a politically sensitive digital platform like the EHR.   These are really great results, showing that transparent communication can alleviate privacy concerns, which is especially important for a politically charged digital platform like the EHR. The implications of our study suggest that Privacy Fact Sheets could play a pivotal role in supporting the German healthcare system's digital transformation.   I am thrilled to present our findings at The European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) 2024 in Paphos, Cyprus, this June. Join us to dive deeper into how transparency features can elevate the effectiveness of electronic health records. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and engaging in enriching discussions!  For those interested, here's the link to our full paper in the conference proceedings (https://lnkd.in/eZZEa8Pk) or at researchgate (https://lnkd.in/eMqjxXZd) #ECIS2024 #EHR #DigitalHealth #DataPrivacy #HealthcareInnovation

One of the key questions when using data to gather insights is: how do we respect patient privacy while preserving data integrity? While de-identifying patient data for analysis is important, so is enabling researchers to query de-identified datasets through simple, secure methods, allowing exploration of patient cohorts without compromising privacy. Healthcare systems need to strike a critical balance between privacy and actionable insights to filter patient data efficiently and re-identify individuals when needed— and this is the next step in healthcare innovation. #DataDeidentification #HealthcareData #HealthTech #GenAI #USHealthcare

The Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI) has released the first revision of CAN/DGSI 103-2, Digital Trust and Identity – Part 2: Delivery of Healthcare Services. This revised standard provides updated requirements for the secure exchange of health information in federated health networks and enhances the digital trust framework for the healthcare sector.   This revision introduces two major updates: 1️⃣ Expanded Terms and Definitions: Clarifications have been added to ensure better understanding and implementation of the standard. 2️⃣ Increased Clarity on Access Controls and Authorization: The revision provides more detailed guidance on managing access controls, authorization, and the protection of personal health data within digital systems. The standard aims to facilitate the creation of user-centric, interoperable health networks that improve the accessibility and security of healthcare services. It addresses crucial topics such as user agency, data standards, privacy, consent, and identity re-use, all while ensuring compliance with local regulatory and legislative requirements.
