  Agent Attribution for Healthcare Audit: A FHIR R5 AuditEvent Profile for Auditing AI-Mediated Access to Protected Health Information

  Tanmaya Kumar. Behavioral Health Open Source (bh-healthcare.org). 12 pages, PDF. Technical Report BHOS-TR-2026-03. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21682867

  A research paper on the audit gap that opens when an AI agent operates clinical software under a clinician's credentials. Presents a three-role attribution model (authenticating, acting, authorizing), a FHIR R5 AuditEvent profile expressing it, and the finding that HL7's auditevent-OnBehalfOf extension relocates the attribution gap instead of closing it, moving requestor onto the agent so the standard access-review query returns the machine. Includes emission tiers, the stated limits of what a schema can enforce, and a production telemetry finding on optional-argument classification behavior.

  BH Audit Schema: An Open Standard for PHI-Safe Audit Logging in Behavioral Health Systems

  Tanmaya Kumar. Behavioral Health Open Source (bh-healthcare.org). 12 pages, PDF. Technical Report BHOS-TR-2026-01. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21683079

  A research paper describing the schema's design principles, threat model, specification, regulatory control mappings (HIPAA Security Rule, 42 CFR Part 2, SOC 2), and reference implementation. Includes comparison against existing audit logging approaches (IHE ATNA, FHIR AuditEvent, CloudTrail, generic structured logging), alongside early operational observations from a single deployment, where the finding concerns the consistency of classification across services rather than event volume.
