Scope:

Note: the designation for this standard has been changed from CAN/CIOSC 103-2 to CAN/DGSI 103-2 following CIO Strategy Council’s organizational name change to the Digital Governance Council (DGC), effective January 30, 2023 and the creation of a new standards development division, Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI). This National 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. Note: This Standard is intended to address the exchange of health information in support of the delivery of healthcare services. This Standard may also have applications to more general purposes, and in other contexts where information related to people is to be exchanged among identified parties.

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.
