Integrating Feedback from Direct Objective: To ensure consumers can get their personal health data to their third party applications/locations. Additions: – Pulling Trust Anchors from Bundle – 3 rd Party Locations – Participate in Bundle – Bundle Strawman – HTTPS + PKCS7 (.P7B) – Senders signs w. an EV Certificate
Integrating Feedback from Direct
Trust Bundle ABBI implementation guide requires dataholders to download a “trust bundle” (or bundles) of certificates from 3 rd party apps and services. Only 3 rd parties that are in the trust bundle will be able to receive ABBI - PUSH Direct messages. Trust bundle requires: – 1) Policy & criteria for inclusion, – 2) Organization(s) to manage trust bundles, and – 3) Technical specifications for hosting and accessing trust bundles
1) Policy and Criteria for Inclusion Suggestions on Policy & Criteria? – PUSH is about enabling access, and letting the consumer choose which 3 rd party apps to use (not us choosing for them) – What is our minimum obligation to the consumer given that premise?
1) Policy and Criteria for Inclusion Proposal: – Ensure that companies disclose their privacy practices to the consumer and make them available online. This brings 3 rd parties under the jurisdiction of FTC. Can use the ONC Model Privacy Notice as a best practice, and evolve it over time (see next slide). – Ensure that companies use HTTPS to transmit data
1) Policy and Criteria for Inclusion
2) Organization(s) to manage trust bundles Criteria for organizations to host trust bundle: – Technical infrastructure to automatically update, host, and exchange bundles. – Non-profit, and this function not considered a profit- generating opportunity. – Non-partisan: that is, not affiliated with any particular stakeholder. Suggestions on organizations? – DirectTrust.org – State HIE(s) – Patient Privacy Rights
3) Technical specifications for hosting and accessing trust bundles
Thoughts for the Holidays Sending Health Information via – How can we articulate a best practice for this? – We heard suggestions in October: Packaging files in a password-protected ZIP Using PDF’s encryption feature – While we are putting the final touches on Transmit Using Direct, we should start creating strawmen for this use case. – Due: Friday, January 4 th to present at January 7 meeting
