  3. Discussion -  Feasibility Study
    Overview/Business Case Group update (Terry Gold - Acting)Discussion -  Expert Advice Request from FICAM - This is how the meeting was framed.

    1. After our recent hiatus, we are reconvening the Kantara Initiative Healthcare Identity Assurance Work Group (HIAWG) tomorrow.

      We have received a request from the Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) to deliver guidance from healthcare industry stakeholders as to the role that Trust Frameworks can play to ensure universal identity interoperability within healthcare, and between healthcare and other sectors.

      Thursday’s meeting will serve as a kick off session where we will plot out our goals and course of action to satisfy this request.  We will send out an agenda ahead of time.

      Our goal is to provide industry expert recommendations for broad interoperability and adoption of identity services in healthcare.  Specifically, we'll capture clear areas of alignment for interoperability and cross recognition, while identifying areas where unique attention is needed. 

      The discussion will be deeply strategic, with the ability to impact your organizational position in the healthcare identity services landscape. We recommend that your organization make every effort to join us for this kick-off.  

      We look forward to having your participation.  Please forward this to any stakeholder you think will benefit from this effort or be able to make substantive contributions.

    11. All mechanisms or processes that provide electronic access to protected health information (PHI, as defined by HIPAA) must be capable of employing user identity proofing and authentication at a high level of confidence equal to or equivalent (as determined by a documented HIPAA risk analysis) to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Level Of Assurance (LOA) 3.  All users must pass such high confidence identity proofing before being allowed electronic access to PHI.  All users must pass such high confidence identity authentication (i.e., two factor authentication or TFA) before being given remote access to PHI on more than one individual.  Any individual who requests electronic access to their own PHI through a mechanism or process that bypasses such high confidence identity authentication (as allowed by HIPAA) must be informed about the risks before being given such access.
