Comment 1: Include patient information in the profile.

David commented that the authorization profile contains the attributes of the requestor not the patient.  Richard and Tony stated a need for patient identity information.  John commented that this is the difference between early and late binding.  Duane suggested that the need was based on an implementation decision - that the SAML assertion of the XSPA profile includes requester attributes only but that the patient information could be included in the SOAP model if required by the implementation.  Mike stated we need the target resource, POU and requestor attributes; policy of the remote ACS determines patient constraints and enterprise policy.

NO RESOLUTION –additional discussion on the list.

 

Comment 2: Replace ASTM roles with SNOMED codes.

Richard replacing the ASTM E1986-98 roles with SNOMED roles in the profile.  Mike introduced Steve Connolly as an expert in terminology who has reviewed the two approaches.  Steve stated in his report that NHIN Authorization Framework consists of a value set of 35 healthcare roles. Of the 35 roles, 20 can be mapped to the E1986 value set. ASTM E1986-98 (2005) provides a list of 146 roles, in three hierarchical levels. Of the 146 roles in E1986, 90 could conceivably be represented by the roles in NHIN which leaves 56 unrepresented.  Richard stated that the ASTM roles did not constitute a value set because they did not have identifiers. David reported that OIDs had been reserved for the ASTM table and a ballot is being prepared.  David suggested that changing the entries in the ASTM ballot could be a chance to add the NHIN roles to the Table in order to harmonize the two.

NO RESOLUTION –additional discussion on the list.

 

David suggested a technical meeting on Monday 6/22 to discuss the submitted comments.  Richard was unable to attend, so discussion on the list was suggested.  A new meeting will be crated for next Friday as an alternative.

 

8. Open discussion

David will update the membership to show Richard Franck has voting status.  The TC welcomes Tony Mallia as a full member of the TC. (Welcome Tony)

 

9. Issue list

Anil will add a meeting on 6/26 to continue the technical discussion.

 

------

Please join us at the special meeting this Friday to continue the discussion on comments made on the XSPA profiles (listed in the posted spreadsheet).  Post comments to the XSPA TC list.

 

Regards,

David
