To reinforce the Kantara-ONC relationship, Kantara is one of a handful of invited entities to participate at their annual meeting by hosting at ONC Summit  later this month by hosting a Virtual Booth, (no fee) two days for 5 hours each.  The FIRE WG and UMA will represent Kantara.

Regarding ONC, there are working with CDC at the request of the President to get an infrastructure in place for COVID.

Discussion:

FIRE develops Software assessment criteria

Testing lab tests app against these criteria

Trust Registry (run by Kantara) creates a MAAS statement and siplays apps that use it

2 kinds of trusted apps

  • Apps that Access healthcare record
  • Apps that Hold onto certifications for the patient
    • Covid certification


Standard

  • Current competing standards
    • They are international, several countries use their certificate
    • Currently ahead of Linux
    • Tom S says HL7 has more credibility with HHS
    • They may need to create a public health statement and a clinical statement
    • Tom thinks Micky Tripathi knows Josh, both from MA
    • Linux foundation is discussing the format of the certification
    • Josh Mandel (Microsoft, formerly Children's Hospital) writing it into HL7 terms 
  • We are not taking a position on which of these should become the standard.

“We understand ONC has embraced a number of HL7 protocols, particularly FIHR.”
