Digital trust and identity – Part 2: Delivery of healthcare services
Scope:
This Standard specifies minimum requirements for federating the exchange of health information between systems and provides the basis for implementing a user-centric, interoperable health network for the delivery of healthcare services.
The scope of this Standard comprises the following: definition of a trust model; user agency; data standards; access controls; authorization; re-use of identity; and governing identity federation.
Project need:
While identity and risk can be largely mitigated by default in the physical world through closed and fragmented systems, established standards and regulatory safeguards, the same cannot be said in an online world. In the absence of a national standard, public and private sector organizations are continuing to rely on organization-specific, vendor-driven and ad-hoc document-based identity management processes, impacting integrity, security, privacy, trust, and service delivery.
