There are many upcoming business use cases that need to generate, share and retrieve content from Verifiable Health Links.

WHO’s IPS for Pilgrimage, Canada’s implementation in New Brunswick and more upcoming use cases, are leveraging the exchange of Patient Summary using a Person-Mediated Access approach that exchange data using QR codes embedded with Verifiable Health Links.

The transactions needed to generate and access the Verifiable Health Links and the corresponding clinical data, can be included in an integration profile within the IHE ITI domain to create a consistent approach across various implementations that can be tested for compliance.

The new integration profile can also evolve to potentially include cross-profile considerations of grouping Verifiable Health Links with other standards and profiles such as MHD for document exchange, PCF/BPPC for consent, or digital signatures for added security.
