What follows is fiction, not what actually … Continue reading Trusted Applications: an Interoperability Parable

We don’t need Unique Patient Identifiers, we need ‘proof of healthcare identity’ credentials
In my last post, I maintained that individual identifiers, such as a username or user ID, as used in Informational Identity Management - legal, transactional and digital identity management - are fundamentally a kind of credential.
