>
> The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology
> (ONC) located within the Office of the Secretary for the U.S. Department of
> Health and Human Services (HHS) has joined the OpenID Foundation
> (OIDF). ONC is the principal federal entity charged with coordination of
> nationwide efforts to implement and utilize the most advanced health
> information technology for the electronic exchange of health information.
>
> ONC is at the forefront of the Administration’s Health IT efforts and is a
> key standards development resource to the national health system to support
> the adoption of health information technology and the promotion of
> nationwide health information exchanges. Ms. Debbie Bucci will join the
> Board of Directors of the OpenID Foundation as the ONC representative.
>
> The ONC plans to lead a Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE) working
> group to create a profile of OpenID Connect and associated pilot
> projects. Ms. Bucci, an IT Architect in the Implementation and Testing
> Division, is helping lead a profiling and interoperability testing effort
> at ONC and will be one of the leaders of the HIE working group.
>
> Don Thibeau, Executive Director of the OIDF, pointed out that this public
> sector effort parallels the increasing global adoption among large
> commercial enterprises. Google, Microsoft, Ping identity, Salesforce,
> ForgeRock and others have embraced OpenID Connect as fundamental to their
> identity initiatives. Thibeau noted, "After the launch of OpenID Connect
> early this year, the OIDF finds itself working on one of the hardest use
> cases in identity; patient medical records at the same time as working on
> the platform of choice; the mobile device. Working with OIDF member
> organizations like the ONC, GSMA and others brings important domain
> expertise and a user-centric focus to these OIDF working groups. These
> standards development activities are loosely coupled with pilots in the US,
> UK and Canada."
>
> If you are interested in the HIE working group, please consider attending
> the OpenID Day on RESTful Services in Healthcare at MIT on September 19th
> in Cambridge, MA. This event will focus on emerging Web-scale technologies
> as applied to health information sharing. The focus will be on group
> discussion among MIT's expert participants. The OIDF will follow its
> standards development process while MIT leads outreach and industry
> engagement. This day is part of the 2-day annual MIT KIT Conference at MIT
> on September 18-19. For more information on this event and to register,
> please visit http://kit.mit.edu/events.
