Introduction to Consent2Share A look at how we have arrived where we are The following introductory slides were made possible by the 2010 JASON report related to patients having the ability to segment their health information
Data Segmentation for Privacy Charter Enable the implementation and management of disclosure policies that originate from the patient, the law, or an organization, in an interoperable manner within an electronic health information exchange environment, so individually identifiable health information may be appropriately shared for: Patient treatment and care coordination Third party payment Analysis and reporting for operations, utilization, access quality and outcomes Public health reporting Population health, technology assessment and research
What is Data Segmentation for Privacy? DS4P The HL7 DS4P Implementation Guide (IG) is a HL7 International ANSI normative standard developed under the authority of the ONC Standards and Interoperability project. The DS4P IG defines how to implement segmenting a health record based on a patients’ consent directives. DS4P defined two segmentation methods: 1) meta-tagging; and 2) redaction. Meta-tagging leaves the data in the record and information not to be shared is tagged using sensitivity codes Meta-tagging is not universally supported by current EHR health record systems Redaction is currently the method used for data segmentation
Bias, Stigma, and Prejudice: Ongoing Concerns in Behavioral Health A Mom in recovery had her 2-month old infant removed from her custody after a hospital reported that she had legally prescribed methadone in her system. A young man in recovery was refused work reinstatement despite successful treatment for alcoholism and his physician’s clearance. Legal Action Center, June 2014 ABA Journal June 2014
GOVERNING PRINCIPLE: COERCED CONSENT IS NOT CONSENT Consent cannot be valid if people can only obtain essential services by providing it. -- James Willis, British Journal of GP Br J Gen Pract. 2004 September 1; 54(506): 725 ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1326097/pdf/bjpg54-725.pdf
Overview of SAMHSA/ONC’s collaboration around DS4P and integration ONC initiated the DS4P project through the S&I Framework ONC and SAMHSA continually look for ways to integrate behavioral health information across the continuum of care ONC and SAMHSA have participated in the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase – SAMHSA participated in the HIMSS 2016 Interoperability Showcase ONC provides opportunities on an ongoing basis for SAMHSA to highlight technology to support interoperability for HIEs ONC is creating a Behavioral Health Roadmap with SAMHSA input ONC provided oversight in the development of Consent to Share
SAMHSA’s integration/consent efforts – Consent2Share (C2S) C2S was developed using the DS4P IG Currently, C2S supports CCD (C32 variant and C-CDA) C2S V1 implemented in a HIE for Prince Georges County, MD ONC provides opportunities on an ongoing basis for SAMHSA to highlight technology to support interoperability for HIEs
Consent2Share The Patient Journey
Patient-Centered Exchange: Patients Control Their Data
Continuity of Care Problem Sally lives in Richmond, Virginia. She is in opioid addiction recovery. She wants to visit relatives for a week in Prince George’s County, 100 miles away. She must make arrangements with her treatment provider to ensure that her methadone treatment will be uninterrupted. It will take a lot of coordination and time to review and sign the proper paper forms before she can travel.
Continuity of Care Solution: Consent2Share Connected to HIE Sally uses an online consent system connected to the local Health Information Exchange to give her local OTP advanced authorization to share her medical information with an alternative provider. Her methadone treatment will continue uninterrupted. Sally Health Information Exchange Consent2Share

Consent2Share V3 Thoughts Use OAuth and possibly UMA to decouple C2S Expose endpoints of the various services Provide much more flexibility for implementation options Implementations not tied to specific technology E.g., use FHIR Server for health information instead of xds.b HIE repository Use SMART on FHIR Implement ACS behind enterprise firewalls
HIMSS Privacy on FHIR Demonstration 2015 Previous proof of Concept (Privacy on FHIR) separated them Patient decision was UMA (OAuth profile) Enterprise was interception Provide federated decision capability between Enterprise and Patient Controlled Consent Server Migrate the Enterprise Control to OAuth
New Composite Framework HIMSS Demonstration 2017 Cascading OAuth Servers OAuth Server for Enterprise Policies and Tokens OAuth Servers for Patient Policies and Consent Access Tokens Consent Access Tokens are exchanged for Enterprise Access Tokens If Consent is not required Enterprise Access Token is issued Client always gets a Token for Reuse Resource Server (Interceptor) always gets an Enterprise Access Token which it trusts Integration to ACS framework is done by Enterprise Authorization Server (decision to issue a token)
