OverviewWhat is RESTful Health Exchange (RHEx)?
Open source, exploratory project to apply Web technologies to demonstrate a simple, secure, standards-based health information exchange – Builds the foundation for patient access to data via the Web and
mobile devices, removing barriers to broad electronic health data exchange
– Offers a new approach to health data exchange
– From moving documents to linking to needed information
Sponsored by the ONC Federal Health Architecture (FHA) program in FY12– Helps address NwHIN Power Team Sept 2011 recommendation to
develop a specification for RESTful exchange of health data
– Informs a path forward for a RESTful health data exchange

FY12 Pilot Outcomes
Pilots successfully demonstrated that:– Physicians can securely share health data over the Web
– High volumes of data can be moved over the Web securely in support of HIE patient data integration
New pilots with TATRC are underway in FY13
RHEx is being implemented across Maine to support small, independent providers and FQHCs in medically underserved areas
RHEx for secure mobile access was demonstrated at 2013 HIMSS Interoperability Showcase– Patients can be empowered by gaining access to their comprehensive health
history in the Maine Health Information Exchange (HIE) using mobile devices powered by hReader
Pilot with VHA soon to be underway– RHEx technology will support secure sharing of information between VHA and
third party providers in support of Veterans in rural Utah

FQHC = Federally Qualified Health Center

Additional Pilots with TATRCApply RHEx technology for…
Sharing images between AHLTA and third party provider systems
Providing patients access to their medical history in AHLTA using a mobile platform (hReader)
Securely migrating health data from AHLTA to VistA to explore methods to reduce risk for a seamless electronic health record for Service Members and Veterans

FY13 Focus: Sharing Medical Images
MHS = Military Health SystemPCM = Primary Care Manager
RESTful Health Exchange (RHEx)
MHS and third party providers can access relevant diagnostic images and associated records and metadata when needed

Comparison: Focus
Build a working prototype and field it on real systems. Proof of concept by adapting existing technologies (hData, OpenID Connect, OAuth).
Define a set of resources to represent health and healthcare administration related information and the protocols to go with them. Translatable to/from hData.
Enable patients access to their own data in human-readable and machine-readable formats and share them where they choose. Uses FHIR for data layer.

Comparison: Network Style
Known providers and endpoints, unknown applications, registration and onboarding is out of band. No discovery or dynamic registration.
Undefined / out of scope.
Highly dynamic and distributed. Trust networks tied to “Registry” components, providers and clients can be outside of any registry and still may function.

Technical Deep Dive:OAuthD e l e g a t e d A u t h o r i z a t i o n
| 13 |
Ever seen these?
13
Then you’ve used OAuth!
| 15 |
Authorization protocol framework Built on deployment experience with OAuth 1, SAML, OpenID,
and others IETF Standard (as of 10/2012)
– RFC6749, RFC6750 Built for HTTP APIs Mobile friendly REST-friendly
– Not RESTful itself
15
OAuth 2
| 16 |
Key components of OAuth2
Resource Owner(Controls stuff)
Client(Wants stuff)
Protected Resource(Has stuff)
User Agent(Web browser)
Access Token (Lets client get stuff)
Refresh Token (Lets client ask for access tokens without bugging the user again)
Authorization Server(Issues tokens)
16
How do we connect them?
17
| 18 |
Authorization Code
– Very secure
– Most common
– Good for web server and native apps Implicit
– Good for apps inside the browser Client Credentials
– When there’s no user involved Resource Owner Credentials
– Bootstrap username/password systems
18
Primary OAuth2 flows
| 19 |
Refresh token
– Get more access tokens without bothering the user Assertion
– Extension
– Uses structured tokens: JWT, SAML Chain/redelegation
– Extension
– Trade one access token for another

Avoiding password proliferation
– User’s credentials never go to the client API protection
– Hundreds of thousands of sites, projects, and systems … and growing
Mobile access to server systems Authentication (sign-on) protocols
– Facebook Connect, Log In With Twitter, etc.

What is OAuth used for?

A delicious metaphor
Metaphor from: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vbertocci/archive/2013/01/02/oauth-2-0-and-sign-in.aspx
Chocolate Fudge
VS
| 38 |
Delicious on its own Versatile ingredient
– Useful in many circumstances Can be used to make fudge
38
OAuth is Chocolate
| 39 |
A confection with several ingredients Can be made with chocolate
– But needs more than just chocolate
– Could be made without chocolate
39
Sign-on is Fudge
| 40 |
Create an identity API, protect it with OAuth
– Authorization Server becomes Identity Provider
– Client becomes Relying Party Standardized user profiles
– Name, email, picture, etc. Session management
– Is the user still logged in?
– Log out Step up to high levels of authentication Keep compatibility with basic OAuth2
40
A recipe for sign-on with OAuth2
Great idea!

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is built on experience with OpenID 2, OAuth, SAML, Facebook Connect, etc.
Developed by the OpenID Foundation
– http://openid.net/connect
44
New generation identity protocol
| 45 |
OAuth 2 authorization
– Authorization Server becomes Identity Provider
– Client becomes Relying Party JSON Web Tokens
– Structured token format Can work in fully-distributed mode
– Dynamic discovery and registration
– Self-issued identities “Make the simple things simple, make the difficult things
possible.”
45
Start with a solid base
| 46 |
Use OAuth2 to get a regular access token, as well as an ID token Use access token to call User Info Endpoint
– Standardized user profile
– Standardized scopes Parse and use ID token to manage current session and user
information
46
How it works
| 47 |
Higher levels of assurance
– Signed and encrypted requests
– Signed and encrypted responses Fine-grained claims management Distributed and aggregated claims Self-issued identities IdP-initiated login
– Kicks off the standard flow “remotely” Can get very complex if you want it to
– “SAML with curly braces”
47
What else it can do
| 48 |
OAuth 2 in the wild Real-life interoperability testing Real deployments, large and small Generalization of protocols
– OIDC Discovery -> Webfinger
– OIDC Registration -> OAuth 2 Dynamic Client Registration
– JWT Claims Subject, audience, authorized presenter
48
A protocol proving ground

Summary
RHEx project has explored secure, Web-based health data exchange, building the foundation for future advances in health care
– Allows providers and patients to exchange health data securely over the World Wide Web
– Builds foundation for secure access via mobile devices Pilots with TATRC and HealthInfoNet suggest that RHEx
technology is a feasible solution for lightweight, secure exchange of health data over the Web
Work continues to pilot RHEx technology in new ways

What is REST?
Stands for “Representational State Transfer” – Coined by Roy Fielding, a principal author of HTTP
Lightweight architectural style for Web development that offers simplicity
Web resources represented by universal resource locator (URL) and accessible by HTTP methods

FY12 Pilots
Pilot with TATRC– Goal: Demonstrate simple, secure RESTful health data
exchange over Web– Use Case: Consults/Referral sharing – Pilot demonstrated that physicians can securely
share health data over the Web Pilot with Maine HIE (HealthInfoNet)
– Goal: Investigate use of RESTful approach to populate Maine HIE Clinical Data Repository
– Use Case: Population of single electronic health record for patients in medically underserved areas
– Pilot demonstrated that high volumes of data can be moved over the Web securely in support of HIE integration

By securely accessing their health history, patients actively engage and participate directly in their own care

These diagrams illustrate the use of OpenID Connect and OAuth2 working in tandem to allow a client to access a protected resource.
In this scenario, the Identity Provider (IdP), Authorization Server (AS), and Client are all in separate security domains. The Resource Server (RS) is in the same security domain as the AS to the extent that the RS can validate and trust a token generated by the AS.
The user must log in to the AS using credentials from their IdP, then authorize the client to access the RS for them. The AS is therefore a client of the IdP in addition to being an AS in its own right (for the RS).
These diagrams do not show discovery or registration.
