    • Further review of definition of "Standards Under Review (SUR)" definition from the Standards Privacy Impact Assessment - Suzanne Webb, guest
      • SGB has a couple of issues with the SUR information. One question is that SUR is not an HL7 term that we use in our processes. Challenges regarding how this relates to our methodology and issues with setting policy. The specification talks about process that is appropriate when we're looking at applying a standard to an implementation context. Looking at this when you're writing the original spec is not always appropriate. The process is useful and appropriate but the context in which we're trying to apply is problematic. Suzanne: Does HL7 have a definition of a SUR? Calvin: Are we really wanting to talk about SURs or standards under development at HL7? Paul: Is it during the ballot period? Lorraine: The appropriate timing for a threat assessment is when you're using the standard in an implementation. Wayne: We need to redefine this because we don't consider anything published when it's being balloted. It has to happen before it goes out to ballot. Lorraine: And most of the time, that's the wrong time to do a threat assessment. Thom: The term is specification under review, not standard. There could be actions that are required at the PSS stage, but overall it's not clear when and by who. Paul: Instructions seem to be written from an unusual context - for example, no specification will contain PII as referenced in the document.
      • What do we think next steps are? Paul: SUR is not defined within the document itself. That would not be a substantive change. Also there are difficulties understanding context in the content; perhaps that could be called out at the top. There is no policy to say that one must follow the cookbook. Our first hope is that the cookbook is a clearer document. Wayne: We did an assessment of this a long time ago. The policy should not be in the document. We should keep the document but don't import policy through it. Perhaps we should have a precept that we don't impart policy through documents such as this. Suzanne: I can take this back to the WG and reword, confirming that there is no policy listed within the document, and clarify where in HL7 process the SUR falls. Paul: Is an STU being implemented still a standard under review? Calvin: You probably don't want to wait until STU implementation - you probably want to use it as it's being developed. Thom: The PII issue is not clear either.
      • ACTION: Suzanne will take the document back with the SGB comments and confirm there is no policy in the document and that the flavor of the document is more how to do it. Will ensure that the SUR definition is clearly defined. Will find a place where it seems appropriate that the SUR is in HL7 process. Will bring it back here for review.
