Approval of 2013-3-14 Minutes

Update on DirectTrust.org and EHNAC

  • This week news that DT was one of 2 awardees of Exemplar HIE Governance Cooperative Agreement
  • Other was NY eHealth Collaborative
  • ONC Press Release planned for next week
  • NY major work is on certification of EHR and HIE interoperability
  • DT major work is Trusted Anchor Bundle, Accreditation Program
  • Includes funding for the work
  • 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
