Digital Identity Federation - Creating an SSO for US Healthcare
Monday, February 26 — 9:00 to 9:40 AM
InteropNOW! Pavilion, Theater C
The CARIN Alliance completed a year-long OpenID Connect-based Digital Identity Federation Proof of Concept (PoC) with the HL7® FAST Digital Identity Tiger Team, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) NextGen External User Management System (XMS) team, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and private sector stakeholders. Once implemented in production, the PoC’s work eliminates the need to create separate “portal” accounts for data holders. The PoC recommended two preferred paths that will enable the health care ecosystem to allow individuals the ability to identity proof themselves once, establish their own digital identity credential, and then use that digital credential across multiple relying parities as their own “single sign on” for U.S. healthcare.

Igniting Interoperability:
An HL7 FHIR Accelerator Panel
Monday, February 26 — 5:00 to 5:45 PM
InteropNOW! Pavilion, Theater C
Five years ago, HL7 launched the FHIR accelerator program to support emerging FHIR use cases and help communities create and adopt FHIR implementation guides. Since its inception, FHIR standards development has focused on meaningful implementation and adoption. As an exponential number of use cases has emerged, end users and implementers from government agencies, health systems, and developers have adopted the robust capabilities of FHIR. Representatives from the HL7 FHIR Accelerator community will share their success stories for 2023 and their plans for 2024. The panel will include members of the Argonaut Project, CARIN Alliance, CodeX, the Da Vinci Project, FAST, and Gravity. Charles Jaffe, MD, PhD, CEO of HL7 International, will moderate a program that welcomes audience participation.

Bridging the Gaps: Achieving Seamless Healthcare Interoperability through FAST FHIR at Scale & CARIN Alliance Collaboration
Interoperability is more than a mandate—it’s a necessary transformation for a patient-centered, connected healthcare ecosystem. The FAST FHIR at Scale initiative and the CARIN Alliance are working in parallel to eliminate barriers to data exchange by advancing FHIR-based interoperability.
This session will highlight how FAST's scalable infrastructure solutions complement CARIN’s consumer-directed exchange initiatives, enabling secure, efficient, standardized data sharing across payers, providers, and patients. By integrating best practices for digital identity, patient-directed access, and scalable FHIR-based deployments, these efforts are accelerating the real-world adoption of FHIR at scale while ensuring compliance with TEFCA, HL7, and evolving industry standards.
Join us as we explore how this collaboration drives the next phase of healthcare interoperability, reduces administrative burdens, improves patient matching, and ensures secure, seamless access to healthcare data—anytime, anywhere.
