Meeting Materials

• Draft Security WG ISA 2018 Comments
• HL7 ISA 2017 Comments

FHIR Security CR 14028

• Accounting of Disclousres
• Specific example of a Privacy report that is HIPAA specific, but the concept is applicable in similar forms
• There is some POLICY that drives a subset of all Access/Use/Disclosures to be explained to the patient.
• Who, What, Where, When, Reason, Purpose
• Produces some form of report to be delivered to the patient to explain all the disclosures
• Unlikely to be a structured report, but the structured report could be CSV (or AuditEvent)
• Other regulatory examples: Access Log (all accesses regardless of if they qualified under TPO)
• Would capture all potential disclosures in the AuditEvent audit log, and filter to select the reportable disclosures
• Leverage AuditEvent database. Other audit log data may additionally be added but are outside the scope of FHIR.
• Focus only on Accounting of Disclosures where the disclosure is detected and recorded using an electronic reporting sytem (Not including disclosues undetected or unknown)
• Would include paper/fax/mail disclosures provided there is some supervisory system that detects the export
• Would not include paper/fax/mail disclosures that happen outside of a workflow managed or detected by technology
• HOW
• Given that AuditEvent includes comprehensive evidence of all access/use/disclosure, then:
• Filtering of the whole AuditEvent may be complex, and would change as regulations change and as workflow patterns change.
• Filter on all AuditEvents where the Patient of interest is the subject/patient element (See patient compartment)
• Workflows may operate on patient data indirectly and thus would not be detected as having touched the patient
• Some resources don't contain a patient/subject element, but are linked to the patient/subject through another object (need explicit example?)
• Some:
• Of all the events returned from a subject search
• Filter out those events that don't need to be included in the Accounting of Disclosures
• Condense multiple events on the same Disclosure event (many audit log entries will happen that are all related to one session)
• Summarize each Disclosure detected
• Who --
• When --
• Why -- (OAuth purposeOfUse?)
• What ??? Can we leverage the <any> Resource.text element to explain 'what' data was disclosed?
• AuditEvent.text -- This field may be useful on some types of audit event recording
• De-Duplicate similar events into some description of a number of Disclosures over a period of time
• a PDF can be created with the details from this analysis or possibly a structured/coded form
• REFERENCES

‘’’Privacy Study Group’’’ Is Privacy Obsolete?

• WG4 (ISO) is planning for a project would be P&S for the internet of things.
  • Mike is part of the US TAG
  • Ann Kevorkian – Privacy by Design created in OASIS
• Conversation on ‘privacy is dead’ – which Ann did not agree
• Cited GDPR; and suggested that privacy is not dead, but seriously challenged
  • Within NIST privacy

Privacy is about your choice—no concept where we see security services as enforcing privacy; there is no concept of privacy enforcement relying on security services… or that privacy is managed by security—where security fails, privacy also suffers.

• Mike is surprised by ISO on this now being a security issue.
• We need to look at the situations in US, CAN, EU and non-EU as well and take the opinions, viewpoints from each of these areas—belief is country specific is defined by law and will change from country to country—wherein we cannot develop sweeping …
  • David—they were saying there was no such thing as privacy; suggested to changing verbiage to ‘’data protection by design’’ (instead of privacy by design)
• Mike; there’re kind of like in HITSP days wondering why they were in the same room as privacy; HL7 is remarkably mature—expecting the rest of the world to also gone with though us; there is a view point (rest of world) where they have been uninformed in our work; joint information model, etc. it’s not part of their thinking and an obstacle in dialogue. (16:00)
  • conversation will be added to the HL7 listserv thread

Kathleen In a FHIR audit event, there is a place to add text inhuman readable terms to read what the resource is about: FHIR Security CR 14028

• Accounting of disclosure; it wouldn’t be structured in the text but other parts of Accounting of Disclosure on audit event would e

Per Mike: regarding fields:

• WHO ‘organization or person—in US, we may ask for both
• Determine if mandatory or optional fields (recommend making everything optional and make law require…
