This repo stores the code for the OneFlorda Linkage Submission System (OLASS) server application.

The goal of the OLASS server is to achieve de-duplication of the patient data by generating unique identifiers (UUID) for different combinations of patient data elements.

For more details about what "linkage" means please see:

• Design and implementation of a privacy preserving electronic health record linkage tool in Chicago
• A practical approach to achieve private medical record linkage in light of public resources

The server implements the "client credentials" grant workflow described in the rfc6749.
