A project at Harvard Medical School funded by the National Institutes of Health is leveraging HL7’s emerging Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard and OAuth 2.0 security profiles to enable individuals to access their health data and share it with researchers.
Using standards to share health information technology and putting people at the center of deciding when and how data should flow is the goal of Sync for Science (S4S), which is being coordinated by Harvard Medical School’s Department of Biomedical Informatics, NIH and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
