NwHIN RFI General Discussion

Pete: Important for us to participate on this RFI. David Kibbe: This is related to Meaningful Use Stage 2. ONC has been under some pressure for a while to address governance of NwHIN. Decided to do an RFI, moving away from committing themselves. Clear that they want this to go through, committed to the elements in this RFI, only giving the industry 30 days to respond. Broad approach the setting expectations around trust and security. I asked a question recently as to the incentive to go through the validation process. The answer was the they feel the market will value this as it will build confidence. I’m not sure that that’s the case.

Pete: We need to come up as to ways to respond for us. This is the kind of thing we in the industry have been waiting to see. The identity assurance framework is a perfect fit for this.

Adrian: Will this framework be provided to both patients and providers? Pete: I think there will be resistance at the patient level, since they’re not business associates or covered entities.

Adrian: If there are going to be people outside these regulations that want to be outside of HIPAA by design, and they are the ones doing the authentication of the patients, we have to address that.

Dan: Kantara has the capabilities to apply the framework to providers or patients, but it will not be Kantara’s decision to decide who it applies to. I think the patient part is still a ways off.

Adrian: I disagree, I’ve read this carefully and it seems to me this is something that can’t be put off.

David: If I were Kantara, I would be concerned that a number of entities will step up to the plate here to become validators.

Pete: For whatever reason, it’s been difficult to get the DEA to say that the trust framework providers approved by the GSA are on equal footing with NIST SP-800 63. What this RFI does is call out NIST SP-800 63 or equal, which is what we’ve been looking for.

Dazza: I think this RFI provides an opportunity to do some educating and laying out how to approach this.
