Approval of 2013-3-14 Minutes

• Other was NY eHealth Collaborative

• Will be meeting with ONC and NYeC on policy issues regularly
• DT will have specified goals for accreditation program
• Detailed workplan will be required for ONC
• Provider to Patient is included in Directed Exchange e.g. for Blue Button
• Very positive endorsement of the Direct approach

Direct Trust - Kantara Tiger Team

• The Tiger Team will be folded back into the HIAWG - lots of overlap
• HIAWG charter will be updated soon
• Needs to work on alignment of LOA specifications inside and outside of Health
• Need to work hard on common and standard processes for identity proofing and verification in HealthCare

UMA ties to HIAWG

• Andrew mentioned UMA workgroup - they are looking at various Health scenarios
• MITRE has done much work with UMA
• Adrian Gropper wrote the original Health use case for UMA

Review of HIMSS 2013

• Poor attendance at the Workshop - there was confusion about the listing in the conference book
  
  • Need to ensure that logistics are kept clean for future events
• Bill's session was a discussion session for identity and implications for Healthcare environment
  
  • Was standing room only, lots of discussion
• Strong visibility and good profile for Kantara overall

AOB

CommonWell discussion

• Is a vendor consortium
• Has established Patient Identification as one of their core goals
• Should HIAWG be involved? Yes.
• Patient ID is the most important aspect of CommonWell (basis for the other services)
  
  • Looking at hash of phone number, email address, drivers license swipe as the basis for patient ID scheme
• How can HIAWG help CommonWell?
• There is a common approach in some HIE initiatives to use EMPI probabilistic matching to solve the Patient ID. This is not scalable.
  
  • Other approaches are being tried
  • Not clear which approach will work
• Other groups worth watching
  
  • Care Connectivity Consortium - Healthy Way Consortium
  • IDESG Healthcare WG
  • Is NYeHC doing anything in this area?
  • The Marco Foundation has done work on EMPI matching in the past
• Suggestion that an open process would be more appropriate for development in this area
