Minutes

1. Welcome and roll call

We welcome Daza Greenwood and Daniel Bennett from e Citizen Foundation to follow up with their patient identity and personal health record open exchange architecture proposal.

2. Election results – returning co-chairs

Congratulations to the three co-leading chairs who are nominated in their leadership role for 2010.

3. Update on Kantara’s policies on fundraising for our projects - Input from Kantara

Funding - currently no official policy.  If there is a participant who is willing to donate their time, all well and good.  There needs to be a mechanism in place, then we go to the Leadership Council (LC) and take it to the Board of Trustees (BoT). Bob Pinheiro, chair of Consumer Identity WG has taken an action as of Feb. 17 to write a proposal policy / process on how to tackle this and bring to the LC prior to Kantara's meeting in Oregon March 9.

If X vendor wanted to donate to any given group, this would be accepted directly to X vendor and would be fine.  If the donation comes direct to Kantara there may be an issue with earmarking funds (in trying to avoid discrimination to smaller groups), this issue needs to be resolved, we will look to Bob for guidance as his proposal develops.

Update on the planning for the patient portal with eCitizen - Work on Use Cases

Other Business

Actions and next steps:

Minutes: Rick Moore will post minutes of the call.
Next Steps:  Here is what I (John Fraser) captured for next steps:
 
1.       Update Use Case (Fraser will do next draft and send to list)
a.       Take out specific VUHID name, rename it as a “Unique ID”
b.      Clarify NHIN auth out of scope, since SAM2.0 already in use on NHIN backbone
c.       Discuss with Pete Palmer, SureScripts about adding back a generic ePrescribe he may be OK with
 
2.       Potential Auth Methods for patients (group discussion)
a.       InfoCard / PKI (for fixed systems, like laptops, PDA, desktops)
b.      Username/Password with SMS key sent from system (for generic web access with registered cell phone)
c.       Possible additional methods (different mechanisms)
                                                               i.      aTrust hard tokens with fingerprint readers? (Sal will send info to list about this option)
                                                             ii.      SAFE BioPharma PKI certs?
                                                            iii.      Others?
 
3.       Schedule follow up meeting within the week, to discuss open issues with group and eCitizen to further refine initial use case and technical architecture (Co-chairs to do this)
a.       Have agreed to use a “Black Box” for auth, with plug-ins, above.
                                                               i.      What plug-ins to start with?
b.      Discuss how to trust docs on NHIN
                                                               i.      Proposal: “consume” SAML 2.0/Liberty assertions from NHIN to trust the docs on NHIN
c.       Probably add that initial patient user auth should be following the new fed efforts
d.      Other issues?
