The Privacy and Security Tiger Team, part of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, is seeking public feedback on its framework for health information exchanges, according to an HHS announcement.
The Privacy and Security Tiger Team is charged with building a comprehensive privacy and security policy framework for electronic health information exchange. Deven McGraw and Paul Egerman, chairs of the tiger team, have posted a document (http://www.healthit.gov/buzz-blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/framework-04-19-11.pdf) that includes fair information practice principles outlined by the ONC and what the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act provides for each principle. In the document, the tiger team has also detailed its own recommendations for privacy and security.
