2020-09-08 Meeting notes

Jim Kragh

1) Digital Identity Framework challenge for the FIRE and HIA  WG's:

“Profile of a Consumer-Patient Centric Digital Framework”

Jim Kragh distributed an outline of the core attributes and function types needed to enhance one's digital identity online that would be core features of a consumer-patient  Framework with a  smartphone focus. This is an abbreviated version that several of your colleagues (Catherine, Tom, Noreen, Dr Tom and me) pulled together the past five days - and Tom will show the expanded version (confidential and not for distribution) which we seek your input on. Important to keep in mind there are  two distinct sections, page one focuses on the Consumer-Patient Digital Identity features only and is not to be commingled with page 2, We are seeking your creative input on how you would enrich the plotline on page one - please review before the meeting starts. 

Page 2 is Healthcare also needs your input.  Eventually we will capture multiple industries but for now we will start with healthcare and the HIA WG who will review the document next week.

Next steps for FIRE WG

• Catherine suggests interoperability/portability framework as our next focus.
• Nordics has 97% acceptance rate of smartphone, others use a physical token, card or Yubi key
• Private doctor or insurance plans may want to give patients a cell phone to use for managing treatment, clinical trials. Tom spoke to someone who was in renal failure where behavior at home is so important that the treatment requires remote monitoring. Austin does this.

• Portability of assured verified claims
• Portability of claims
• Play off “resilience” in FIRE name
