Phase I: Privacy and Security Working Group
|
During Phase I Connecting for Health produced successful results that serve as the foundation for its current work. There were three Working Groups: the Data Standards Working Group, the Privacy and Security Working Group, and the Personal Health Working Group.
The purpose of the Privacy and Security Working Group was to identify practical strategies and solutions for developing an interconnected electronic infrastructure that will ensure the secure and private transmission of medical information and support the continuity of personal health information across plans and providers.
The group focused on:
- Reaching consensus on a set of principles and criteria for assessing "best practices" for clinical data sharing and management.
- Identifying and disseminating examples of privacy and security "best practices" that are feasible in a variety of operational environments and are compliant with HIPAA privacy and security requirements.
- Recommending practices that data producers and data consumers can use to address privacy and security issues inherent in the creation of a national health
information infrastructure.
- Promoting the adoption of best privacy and security practices identified by Connecting for Health.
