  • 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
