2.1 Develop a reference implementation for consumer access, using open source solutions.
2.2 Develop a reference implementation for healthcare workers access to critical health information using open source solutions.
2.3 Review and endorse an identity assurance framework to support secure information sharing between authenticated individuals and systems to support HIEs and NHIN.
2.4 Recommend all or parts of these systems to be integrated with the emerging US Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) being developed by the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Offices of the National Coordinator.
2.5 Educate the community on how the system should operate and how such a system should function.
2.6 Work with the vendor community to ensure interoperability between systems.
