What type of encryption is best for transmission of PHI?
added by MDMoore313 Mar 28 at 20:43
link|flag
would this question, perhaps, be better suited for Security SE? – Yes I use MUMPS Apr 3 at 21:45
It's possible, but there could be experts on this board who are familiar with some obscure government encryption standard somewhere as it pertains to PHI, worth a shot. – MDMoore313 Apr 3 at 23:00
I did a little prelim research, and it appears that HIPAA does specify exactly which NIST standards need to met, so I agree. I'll give this one my +1 – Yes I use MUMPS Apr 9 at 16:01

Is there a tool that can classify a given HL7 sample based on the content? ie, Lab ABC puts what should be in NTE into OBX. This textbox is too short.
added by daveloyall Mar 21 at 14:06

So, a human can identify that issue just by looking at it. I want a tool that can do that. Is there a tool that will count the node types and present a report? Better, a tool that can tell me about the relationships between nodes? – daveloyall Mar 21 at 14:08
