  5. Identity Management Stories • Who to Call? • Which Pharmacy? • The Wrong FAX • Whose Rules?

  6. Building Identity Management into RHIOs • Recognize that only now is IM for the healthcare enterprise being addressed • IM interoperability as key to overall RHIO interoperability • Understand that just one transgression will undermine public confidence in RHIOs • Start with an IM foundation then add data services • It’s still about the workflow: IM must support, not impede, the effective delivery of care

  7. Conclusion “The backbone of achieving such protections is the ability to create electronic identities for all people known to the NHIN and to manage the set of inter-relationships and associated data access permissions that would be granted to each person. People include not only the clinical users of the NHIN, but the people about whom health information is exchanged. People also include friends and family who presently care for, or may someday be caring for, another person.” Hannet, Hiscock, Leviss, Seliger, Development and Adoption of a National Health Information Network RFI Response, January, 2005.
