& Deliverables
CARIN’s vision is to rapidly advance the ability for consumers and their authorized caregivers to easily get, use, and share their digital health information when, where, and how they want to achieve their goals.
The CARIN board and community are happy to announce three new deliverables that can be used by stakeholders to continue to empower individuals with access to more of their own health data with less friction.
"Medicaid Program; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Reducing Provider and Patient Burden by Improving Prior Authorization Processes, and Promoting Patients’ Electronic Access to Health Information for Medicaid Managed Care Plans, State Medicaid Agencies, CHIP Agencies and CHIP Managed Care Entities, and Issuers of Qualified Health Plans on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges; Health Information Technology Standards and Implementation Specifications"
The CARIN Alliance has accomplished a significant amount of work in that later half of 2020 and we are excited to share with you the details of our progress in providing consumers and their caregivers more data with less friction. Learn more about our efforts, including updates on CARIN IG for Blue Button®, CARIN’s approach to Digital Identity and Federation, the CARIN Code of Conduct and more in our blog post here.
"The 21st Century Cures Act, the ONC Cures Act Final Rule, and the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access rule have accelerated the ability for an individual to access their personal health information via an application of their choice leveraging HL7® FHIR® Application Programming Interfaces or APIs. To support consumer access, we must ensure that people are who they claim to be so the right information can be shared with the right person at the right time. CARIN supports “person-centric” digital identity credentials to facilitate this ecosystem; an individual has a portable, high-assurance digital identity credential they can use to control when and how their personal information is shared across systems. The CARIN Alliance is working on development of a federated trust agreement to foster and federate trust in digital identity credentials. The federated trust agreement will address standardization and best practices related to security, data protection, authentication, identity proofing, privacy, user experience, interoperability and the conformance regime to ensure these specifications and policy obligations are certified and can be enforced."
