Some Thoughts on Cybersecurity – Part 1
Working from
home is the new reality for many people these days. As part of this new world,
we are using our internet tools more and more, challenging the safety and
security of these electronic systems likely to a degree not seen before. It is
with that in mind that I would like to take a few minutes in this, and
upcoming, posts reminding everybody about the importance of cybersafety in our
online lives.
Imagine this
scenario: Last night, unknown intruders vandalized the office suite next
door. They shattered glass, busted locked
doors open, rifled through drawers, and stole some computer...

Seeking Comments on Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources for NIH-Supported Research
NIH
is currently accepting public comments on the use of standards for capturing, integrating,
and exchanging clinical data for research purposes (NOT-OD-19-150).
This is a great opportunity to hear more from the community on ways to
strengthen approaches that find, share, and access high-quality patient data,
while also making it more interoperable and reusable. Such goals align with
long-standing NIH
data sharing policies and what was also called for in a
related NIH strategic plan on
data science.
The
Request for Information focuses on the Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard (see also NOT-OD-...

CMS Seeks Input on Interoperability and Patient Access Proposed Rule and RFIs
Medicare and Medicaid claims data are
a uniquely valuable, rich source of health information available to the NIH
research community for observational and interventional research. As an
example, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have joined forces to link the Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and End-Results (SEER) data with extensive medical and
patient-reported health information. Another
example – researchers have successfully linked data from the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory
Support
with Medicare claims data. And one ...
