8. Discussion on Authorization Workflow(from April 22) • See issue tracker in github: Instead of calling them ‘trust bundles’, recommend using ‘blue button plus registries’ • Propose linking to this work from the BB+ IG; even considering rolling it in as a new section to the BB+ Guide. • Required or optional? • Optional • Any objections? • None at this time 

9. Discussion on Authorization Workflow (cont’d)(from April 22) Q: How does this fit into other Directories? A: Directory structure is built in (e.g. list of apps and list of providers) to facilitate OAuth2. Directory system that we are proposing is not directly DNS based, not like a certificate repository, or LDAP. It is more of a web-protocol for service discovery. It is fundamentally different from other directory architectures out there. Comment (Adrian): The only other directory like this is the Mass HIE, where we invented a protocol for populating that directory. ACTION: Adrian will send an email (as BB+) with the information request about the Mass HIE protocol and Adrian will forward that request. Their system might solve a similar problem and would be good to see what they have. Comment (Less): California / Kaiser may have also developed something similar.

14. Appendix Previous Meeting Slides

15. Follow Ups • Directory Workflow • Josh & Justin to meet; identify and document concerns, working to understand the gap between the workflow and existing protocols. • Present to the community during April 8 meeting. • Triggers and Automation • Virinder B. to outline sections for adding to the IG. • Present to the Push Workgroup on April 8. • http://wiki.siframework.org/file/view/BlueButtonAutomation20130408.pdf/421118224/BlueButtonAutomation20130408.pdf

16. Discussion on Directory Workflow(from April 8) • Github URL: http://blue-button.github.io/blue-button-plus-pull • Josh & Justin presented the overall workflow and concept. • Goal is to build a better facing patient workflow. • Dataholder Summary: Every data holder is responsible for registering apps. That can happen in an open way, or in a trusted way (preferred). In the latter case, the idea is that the trust bundle which is trusted by the provider already contains information about this app, and is used to verify the application’s request. • Next Steps • Pierce will coordinate offline discussion with Josh / Justin re: how to move forward and identify and adopter. • Discussion will continue during the next Push WG call on April 22, 2013.

17. Discussion on Triggers & Automation(from April 8) • Moving forward (option): Give the five examples as options; let the vendor’s implement the ones they want; use their Reference Implementations to tell us which ones work vs. not. Eventually make some of them mandatory and some optional. • Next Steps • Virinder will red-line/edit the triggers & automation section, and the payload section. Ryan and Pierce will work with him to help / add it to the website. • Continue this discussion in the next (April 22) call based on the updated sections of the IG (http://bluebuttonplus.org).
