  • Note from Don Lloyd to SWG Cochairs: May 2011 ballot –Recon SS was posted; however, negative voters were not notified. Also, while the May 2012 ballot was a Comment Only ballot, it would be appreciated if the WG would post a spreadsheet and notify voters.

• RE: November SWG Harmonization Report – Kathleen reported that the SWG proposals were approved during the Nov. Harmonization meeting.
• RE: Consent Directive CDA Update for DS4P and Security Label Template From proposed Nov. 13 CBCC Call Agenda: Proposed changes to CDAr2 Implementation Guide for Consent Directives based on lessons-learned from ONC S&I Framework DS4P Initiative (Data Segmentation for Privacy) and new Health Care Classification Scheme project related to Security Labeling to meet the following requirements:
  • Ensure that specific information (e.g., a specific substance abuse encounter to diagnosis and treat HIV related to substance abuse) can be specified as a “redacted” or “masked” segment of health information
  • Enable metadata tagging of general and specific PHI “sequestered” by a CDA Consent Directive with security label fields (using HL7 SecurityObservationVocabulary to indicate confidentiality, sensitivity, handling caveats, and integrity) so that custodians and receivers can enforce access control based on the security label
• RE: Other Business, Agenda for Next call, Action Items, and Wrap Up

Meeting adjourned at 2:00 PM Eastern
