  • Baltimore Connectathon? http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Connectathon_19
  • FHIR Build is frozen for R4 ballot. QA happening
  • Short report out from ONC Interop Forum - Privacy Standards panel
    • Group asks ONC to provide guidance on expectation of how standards will be used to fulfill
      • various privacy regulations (National, State, age based, data sensitivity based, individual, etc)
        • Delegated/Proxy account accessing an emancipated minor going through transition where transition ages are different in various locations.
      • Provenance when publishing/sending
      • Provenance when consuming/authenticating
    • Generally there was understanding that Interop standards exist (HL7, IHE, FHIR, etc)
    • Concern around Client Application rights/responsibilities. As distinct from user.
    • Need for help writing privacy notices/policies in way that conveys facts to typical human
• Review Kathleen's proposal for Safety Checklist
  • Kathleen was not on, so we skipped this
• Should we have a procedure that other workgroups can bring us FHIR Resources or FHIR IG, where we do a Privacy and Security analysis SO-THAT we inform their "Security and Privacy Considerations" section?
  • To focus on FHIR as a scoping mechanism. That is to say that this effort could be applied everywhere, but we need to start somewhere. There has been some interest for this kind of review in FHIR.

    • Note not all FHIR resources are sensitive, some are intended to be publicly exposed.
  • Notes from call
    • Lui is worried that adding a section to each page of the FHIR specification would not be helpful, it would be too much replication of the same statements
      • Should improve security pages as needed (ACTION John to add CR for the two items mentioned on the Person resource)
    • Suzanne -- need to bring this to the larger WG
      • Yes, once we have some experimentation. Too soon to bring this to them. Possibly at Baltimore
    • ACTION: John -- focus on the resources going normative. What can be said? Is it repetition? Is there groups of similar text?
• All security open http://gforge.hl7.org/gf/project/fhir/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=677&tracker_query_id=4967
  • Did not address
• New business
  • none brought forward
