Details

Provide FHIR guidance for applying security labels with coded tags for use in access control systems governing the collection, access, use, and disclosure of the target FHIR Resource(s) as required by applicable organizational, jurisdictional, or personal 'sharing with protection' policies.

The IG will include guidance on:

*Marking healthcare and personal information disseminated by US Federal agencies per Executive Order 13556 Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and US Code of Federal Regulations32 C.F.R. § 2002 in the Federal Register and the General Services Administration (GSA) policy and framework for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), 2103.1 CIO Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Policy.

*How to select a security label based on the HL7 Privacy and Security Healthcare Classification System (HCS) label adjudication algorithms, the value in establishing consensus on a default security label for representing policies or consent directives within an exchange ecosystem, and the value of establishing default security labels for information exchanged within the Trust Framework of a policy domain.

*How an Access Control System, such as an OAuth Authorization Server can use the security labels to filter responses to person/population based queries and pushed disclosures that meets:

- Authorization Requirements specifying control over whether or not a client’s request for import or export of person/population Resources will be permitted

- Filtering Requirements specifying, at a more fine-grained level, what resources will appear in the results of a person/population export or accepted in an import operation

- Transformation Requirements specifying the requirements for applying functions on imported or exported person/population Resources, which modify and transform the content of any Resource per applicable privacy/security policies and/or data subject's(s') consent directive

- Provenance Requirements specifying the recording and consumption of provenance information in a person/population Resource(s) export or import operation.

*Further development of HL7 security labeling vocabulary to enhance provenance and trust labeling to meet HL7 Provenance efforts including the PSAF Provenance DAM, Basic Provenance project, and updates to the CDA DPROV IG.

Addition of security label vocabulary to meet international affiliate needs, including GDPR security labeling vocabulary requirements determined by the Security WG GDPR WG.

Address the need to restructure FHIR Security label structure to enable demarcation of multiple applicable security labels into privacy tag sets representing each policy.

Develop a profile on Narrative to enable specification of the manner in which security label 'privacy marks' are rendered, e.g., per CUI requirements.


To replicate and enhance the implementation guidance provided by the CDA Data Segmentation for Privacy IG and HL7 V2.9 security labeling segments in response to growing need in the US and internationally to share healthcare information with protections.



Initiate project calls and modeling during January 2020 WGM to determine resource appropriate project milestones with focus on 'low hanging fruit' approach to incrementally developing and balloting the IG.
