Privacy and Security “Tiger Team” Announces Consumer Choice Technology Hearing
Friday, June 18th, 2010 | Posted Originally on FACA Blog by Deven McGraw and reposted by e-Healthcare Marketing in full.
The HIT Policy Committee (HITPC) invites you to attend the Privacy and Security Tiger Team’s upcoming hearing on consumer choice technology. The Tiger Team is a workgroup which has been assigned the task of analyzing and providing recommendations on privacy and security issues on an expedited basis to the HITPC, and ultimately to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Many consumers and consumer groups have expressed concern about the ability of patients to control the disclosure of their health information as providers transition to electronic health records and electronic health information exchange. The protection of information related to “sensitive” health conditions such as substance abuse, mental health and sexually transmitted disease is of particular concern. Currently, some state and federal laws require patient consent to share this information. In the paper based exchange, control is maintained either by sharing the record only with patient consent or by redacting certain information from the record prior to sharing. Some experts have said there is no technology to support these consent requirements in an electronic environment. Others have stated that some technology supports these consent requirements.
The purpose of the hearing is to learn more about the capabilities of existing consumer choice technology and the potential for future development in this area. The morning session will focus on consumer choice technology in use today in health information exchange. A user of the technology will speak about their specific implementation of the technology, accompanied by a demonstration. The afternoon session will take a look at consumer choice technologies that are in the development stages for use within health information exchange. These developers have been invited to demonstrate either a prototype of the technology or its current use, and discuss its potential for further development within health information exchange.
After each session, a panel of discussants, along with the members of the Tiger Team, will pose questions to the users and developers about the technological approaches presented. The goal of the panel is to probe the presenters for further information regarding the implementation of the consumer choice solutions and potential for technological development. There will be an opportunity for public testimony both in the morning and the afternoon.
We look forward to learning from the users and developers of these technologies as well as the various stakeholders for electronic health information exchange.
