Issues on which comment is sought include measures to ensure accountability and oversight, and the privacy and security of exchanged information; processes to establish responsibilities for obtaining consent; and including multiple stakeholders in governance, particularly consumers.
The workgroup has a number of questions about the relationship between the private sector and the government in various HIE initiatives, including: Was authority delegated from the government? Did the government oversee either the governance process or the results of the process? Was the government simply participating as a member of the group?
More questions and information on submitting comments by Sept. 24 are available here.
