Summary: We discussed there is a lot of work on trust frameworks across the globe and the importance of mapping our work into the work of other efforts to be sure there arenaren’t duplicate activities. Make sure formats are consistent across work. We discussed differences in US and EMEA, etc.
Action Item: Britta to contact David T./GSA about participation in IAWG, noting that David is putting in a lot of time and work at the ARB level.
Action Item: Britta to contact Rich F. about a summary of his STORK research for the group (Patrick and Richard T are also heavily involved and offered to act in a liaison role), noting that STORK is looking as some very interesting, very tangible use cases right now.
Discussion: Different organizations and geographies seem to have a different emphasis toward levels of assurance. Agreement that low and high are of value and importance, but that an approach that doesn't take into consideration the needs at the high assurance end of the spectrum may end up lacking in terms of what is looked at with low levels of assurance. Important to bring both approaches to bear in our work so that we have a workable solution for all levels of assurance.
Discussion: Helen Hill thanked Brett McDowell and Kantara Initiative for participation in the Southeast Michigan Healthcare Information Exchange Day last Friday and presenting on IAF. She shared that they have adopted IAF for their work and that Brett was able to present a very informative session on IAF to other healthcare providers at the event.
