<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I think Grahame and I are saying exactly the same thing. My point is that HEART is in the middle of this and HIE of One is demonstrating the only standards-based solution so far.<br><br></div>The deeper question is the role of "software statements" in Grahame's "drowning in options" future. Some of the options will rely on software statements and others will rely on individual credentials. The governance for individual physician credentials is mostly in place. The infrastructure for software statements and other federation-dependent systems has eluded us for a decade. HEART should not wait for software statements to enable this patient-centered space.<br><br></div>Adrian<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 4:55 PM, Grahame Grieve <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:grahame@healthintersections.com.au" target="_blank">grahame@healthintersections.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Most institutional EHRs are very reluctant to open their FHIR API to write for obvious and justifiable reasons</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>actually, many institutions would like to, as would their vendors, but it's simply a magnitude question.
