WA Health Summary

UW CIRG & WA Department of Health Collaboration

Patient-mediated health summaries from real-world records.

People receiving care across multiple clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies accumulate large, fragmented health exports filled with repeated lab panels, duplicate clinical notes, outdated problem-list stages, and conflicting medication orders. This collaboration explores how clinical rules and open-weight AI can condense multi-clinic FHIR R4 records into grounded answers that patients control and clinicians can verify.

WA Health Summary (WAHS)

Standards-based personal health record backed by HAPI FHIR where Washington residents retrieve clinical data across providers, add personal health goals, curate an International Patient Summary (IPS), and share chosen records via SMART Health Links (reference app ↗).

WAHS Explorer (OpenClinAI Sandbox)

Interactive research workbench (wahs-demo.openclinai.org ↗) evaluating non-destructive FHIR R4 condensation across 9 token budgets (256k–1k), pre-generation clinical graphs, open-weight models, and experimental sensitivity filters across 10 synthetic and de-identified ICU/multi-clinic charts (18 FHIR R4 bundles).

Core Capabilities

Four steps from a fragmented FHIR export to verifiable answers

01 · Non-Destructive Condensation

Shrink multi-megabyte charts by 90%–99% without losing clinical facts

Multi-year FHIR R4 exports can exceed 18.4 MB and 7,099 entries (~1.35M raw JSON tokens; 251,641 extracted clinical tokens). Our deterministic condenser strips transport boilerplate and duplicate Base64 note wrappers across nine token budgets (256k down to 1k) in Lossless Verbatim or Grouped Renewal-Folded mode—prioritizing the HL7 IPS safety core (allergies, active medications, active problems, and implants) and indexing any trimmed history in a Completeness Manifest for on-demand lookup.

02 · Pre-Generation Clinical Reconciliation

Surface cross-clinic duplicates and conflicts as reviewable findings

Duplicate prescriptions, brand-versus-generic overlaps, conflicting kidney-disease stages, and hospital discharge notes instructing a patient to hold an active outpatient pill are clinical signals about care fragmentation—never noise to be silently deleted. Deterministic reconciliation skills and a patient ClinicalEntityGraph inspect the full record before generation and highlight Source A vs. Source B discrepancies.

03 · Patient-Controlled Sharing

Share curated IPS summaries via SMART Health Links

Authentication proxies scope every session strictly to the signed-in patient's own records before any AI processing. In WA Health Summary, patients choose what to share by generating an International Patient Summary (IPS) and issuing a SMART Health Link; in the OpenClinAI sandbox, an experimental pre-condensation toggle also tests sensitivity filtering for substance-use and behavioral-health records.

04 · Citation-Grounded Q&A & Abstention

Verify every statement against its source record

Every summary bullet, conflict alert, and chat response cites numbered [N] source tags mapped directly to FHIR resource UUIDs and clinical dates. When asked about undocumented procedures, allergies, or external pressures to guess, the engine explicitly abstains rather than fabricating clinical details.

Interoperability & Clinical Standards

Grounded in health data standards and clinical guidelines

Condensation priorities, terminology normalization, patient-mediated sharing, and provenance tracking build directly on established healthcare interoperability specifications and clinical practice guidelines. See AI Strategy & Architecture for how these rules run inside the pilot engine.
