  • Discussion
Feedback to the Government of Canada on "Guidelines on Identity Assurance"
  • Call for verbal comments or discussion prior to written response
  • Due to day-job time commitments, little progress
  • Ken offered to extend the deadline for comments to June 13 2013
  • Question: how does the Canadian document relate to similar docs from US or UK? Answer: the material was reviewed during document development. NZ & UK gov has provided comments so far.
RP Guidelines
  • Myisha notified that a draft call for participation has been sent out to the list 
  • Please send feedback

Ad Hoc Team Updates

Alignment with SP 800-63
  • Richard Wilsher provided a join.me 
  • Work to date has been distributed to IAWG list
  • Has restructured 800-63-2 to make analysis easier
  • Kantara talks about Subscriber and Subjects - NIST does not differentiate: they only use Subscriber - check the glossary section
  • 5.3 6.3 7.3 8.3 9.3 have been mapped - has skipped overviews and tutorial sections
  • Has added sub-numbering to enable more specific discussion
  • 5.3 section: the way 800-63-2 treats different LOAs is a bit mixed. RGW has re-sorted them into sections by LOA
  • Has broken down distinct requirements even if they originally appeared in single statements
    • then mapped each to the existing KI IAF item
    • there is a Many:Many relationship
  • In the KI SAC - has inserted indexes back into the modified 800-63
    • Note that there are SAC criteria that do not have an equivalent 
  • Comment: for those extra items, they originally came from Good Practice - Kantara's aim is to determine if the organization is sound. NIST assumes that Government Agencies are sound and following GSA guidance
  • Comment: Some of the items that are not specifically 800-63 criteria might actually be Privacy criteria
    • To create a Privacy profile, just go through the SAC and annotate them
  • There are some puzzling items
    • e.g. 5.3.1.2.5 question about item c) - it reads as if the bullets apply to all LOAs - it is difficult to disentangle the statements - is this a change request to NIST? RGW needs feedback.
  • Red Text to indicate where there might be the opportunity to define a US Profile:
    • 800-63-2 becomes very specific - there may be other options that could meet the criteria. 
    • There might be options that work outside of the US. 
    • These might be criteria that could be less specific in the SAC and use the US profile to include the more prescriptive material
    • There are items that do not currently exist in the SAC - question is do they need to be added?
  • Requested comments by 20 June 2013
    • RGW will send out a formal request for comment with a formal comments form
  • Intent with this work is
    • Result will be a Kantara owned publication
    • The mapping document will remain publicly viewable
    • Will be provided to NIST as suggestions for updates
  • The Comments back to RGW should eventually be posted to the wiki to enable future understanding of rationale
  • Comment: once the work is done, should schedule a IAWG F2F in DC area to discuss the approach and documents to update NIST and seek feedback

Discussion

New Mission Statement for the Group
    • Discussed the need for refocusing and fixing the charter
    • ACH to post a draft of the goals and mission statement for discussion
    • Important to note that HIAWG is the only forum for recommending adjustments to the KI IAF 
Aligning efforts with DirectTrust.org, EHNAC, and IDESG 
    • There is a pilot project underway that is examining how Health Providers might be ID Proofed once in an environment.
    • This might be a very good proving ground for the Direct-Kantara MOU
Deliverables for on-boarding healthcare worker digital identities
    • Carried over to next meeting
Presentation - Barry Hiebe

NOTE: Link to the Privacy whitepaper here: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/download/attachments/64389330/privacywhitepaper5-21-13.pdf

  • The Privacy white paper proposes an approach for privacy in the US Healthcare environment
    • Published a few weeks ago by Global Patient Identifiers Inc. (GPII)
    • Healthcare Privacy environment is very complex
    • Some design considerations:
      • each individual has requirements
      • the system must be voluntary - if, when, how to participate
      • must be very simple
      • must be flexible
      • must work with existing systems - this is very challenging - no existing commonality wrt security, privacy, data segregation
      • patients and physicians must be empowered
      • concern has been raised that if there is good privacy, then standard of care will suffer - false dichotomy
      • allow for exceptions - e.g. break the glass scenario & its reversibility
      • make it as hard as possible to make errors, but as easy as possible to recover from errors
      • must be inexpensive to implement and operate
    • Accurate Patient Identification is essential
    • Suggest creating 2 types of identifier: Public and Private - give these to the patient and have them apply them as appropriate
    • This design concept is inherently simple and easy to explain
    • Currently doing proof of concept deployments
  • Questions
    • What path would be needed to standardize this in a way for vendors to implement?
      • Looking for ideas for best approach - engaging about 35 in the initial development stage of the whitepaper
      • This will have to be a grassroots approach - patient demand
      • e.g. if a patient pays for an encounter, then it must be segregateable from the data set & not reportable to the insurance company
    • Are there 'official' endorsements yet?
      • Looking to see if Kantara will endorse it
      • Would like to find some pilot sites to demonstrate how it works
    • Comment: Might be appropriate to send this out to the WG for comments, and possible sending to LC as a recommendation for approval/endorsement.
    • Most vendors have several identifiers in the system: external and internal. Is this approach similar? If so, the vendors would have to adopt this as the internal identifier, correct?
      • The whitepaper suggests methods that could be used to include the privacy identifiers into records for data segmentation
    • Have there been discussions with EHR vendors about what would be needed to implement this?
    • Comment: Perhaps look to Project VRM and similar initiatives for ideas around implementation
    • Comment: Perhaps reach out to Canada Health Infoway for ideas
    • Comment: Perhaps approaching EHNAC and Direct might help to get to vendors interested in working out some of the details
  • Please send comments on the whitepaper and potential connections to Barry.
