		<pub:abstract><![CDATA[Patient selections for keeping data confidential may differ between healthcare organizations, creating conflicts
in confidentiality for how sensitive and demographic data is linked and merged. Validating that patient data
exchange between organizations adheres to healthcare regulations, like the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), is challenging and time-consuming and relies upon organizational due diligence
to validate data upon receipt, or in the case of breaches, requires forensic examination to determine the scale of
the breach.We address the need for timely compliance evaluation of substance abuse and mental health claims
data exchanged between organizations by developing a novel approach integrating blockchain technology
with semantic reasoners. The foundation of our methodology is an Ethereum blockchain integrated with
a knowledge graph built from the clinical terms for sensitive data value sets maintained by the National
Institutes of Health Value Set Authority Center for identifying health data protected by United States Title 42
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 2. When claims data is transferred, it is first validated by reasoning
over the CFR Part 2 knowledge graph. Then the exchange is audited using the Ethereum blockchain to seek
out sensitive patient data violating the rules. This paper presents our novel methodology in detail, along with
the results of sharing sensitive Part 2 data. The time and cost to detect and log out of compliance data transfers
are measured and compared to the manual process equivalent. Our methodology can be used by organizations
to ensure real-time auditable compliance for a secure and trusted health data exchange.]]></pub:abstract>
