Justin,

One of the reasons I mentioned IHE yesterday is that there are annual 
events, called the Connectathons, in which people who have implemented 
IHE profiles test for interoperability.  The North American Connectathon 
happens in January.  Afterwards, Connectathon participants exhibit their 
working solutions in the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase.  There is a 
similar Connectathon in Europe.  The number of vendors in the 
Connectathons is impressive, and security is an essential infrastructure 
element for them.  This would help satisfy the pilot implementation need 
for HEART.

The provenance and IP stewardship of the underlying standards for IHE is 
very flexible.  IHE adds healthcare use case profiling and testing.  
There is also a lot of cross-membership between IHE, HL7, DICOM, and 
other healthcare SDOs and consortia.  It is a good portal for 
introducing and coordinating health IT standardization.

There is some early discussion among some IHE participants regarding an 
update to the Internet User Authorization (IUA) profile. 
<http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Internet_User_Authorization>  The 
current profile uses RFC 6749 and 6750 as the underlying standards.  
This is all related to HL7 FHIR and SMART on FHIR.  Argonaut is working 
on security in parallel, as is the HL7 Security Workgroup.  This is all 
quite relevant to HEART.

Your thoughts?

Disclosure: I am one of the security test monitors at the annual North 
American Connectathon and, in the past, was very active in IHE and HL7 
as well as other standardization work.

Best,
Glen
