Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation (esMD)Identity Proofing Sub-Workgroup October 31, 2012
Gaps and Operational Issues • Policy for Individual Identity Proofing – NIST Assurance Level 4 • Policy for Organizational Identity Proofing (e.g. for group certificate) • Solicit additional criteria for organizational IdP as part of policy creation • Method for updating policy as environmental conditions change • May have specific requirements based on type of organization (e.g. DME) • PMD process – Ordering provider signs and send documents to DME which signs and submits to CMS • Need to address “revocation of identities” (e.g. person dies, organization no longer does business) – may have implications for claim/documentation submission post “revocation” • May need to consider legal issues with delegation for rights to corporations that must survive termination of the relationship. • RA federation (what is required from the RA IdP by the CA for credential issuance) (RA sends information in secure manner to CA) all defined in the CPS (Policy OID) • Policy for RA Certification (including duration and termination) • Policy and process for “certification” of certification agencies • Agreement by FBCA cross-certified CA’s to recognize the policies and process – may need to explore at FBCA level – Debbie and Wendy • Specifics • Biometrics required – NIST Assurance Level 4 • Policy for acceptance of prior in-person verification (antecedent) • Frequency and conditions for reapplication (max – 3 years?)
Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation (esMD)Digital Signature and Delegation of Rights Sub-Workgroup October 31, 2012
Gaps and Operational Issues • Elements of the signature artifact (specific standard that includes these elements) • Digest of Message • Time stamp • Purpose • Long term validation • Evidence Record e.g. RFC 4998 • Long-Term access to CRL (e.g. via OCSP) • Delegation of Rights • Proxy Certificates • Issues with creation, revocation, and industry support • Assertions • Issues with revocation • Both cases – need definition of rights granted, duration, …

AoR -- Phased Scope of Work Level 1 – Current Focus • Focus is on signing a bundle of documents prior to transmission to satisfy an eMDR • Define requirements for esMD UC 1 and UC 2 Signature Artifacts • May assist with EHR Certification criteria in the future • Digital signature on aggregated documents (bundle) Level 2 - TBD Digital signature on an individual document • Focus is on signing an individual document prior to sending or at the point of creation by providers • Will inform EHR Certification criteria for signatures on patient documentation Level 3 - TBD • Digital signature to allow traceability of individual contributions to a document • Focus is on signing documents and individual contributions at the point of creation by providers • Will inform EHR Certification criteria for one or multiple signatures on patient documentation
Topics for Digital Identities and AoR Workgroup Effort • Identity proofing • Digital identity management • Encryption • Digital signatures and artifacts • Delegation of Rights • Author of Record
User Story / Workflow • Overall User Story Components • All Actors obtain and maintain a non-repudiation digital identity • Provider registers for esMD (see UC1)* • Payer requests documentation (see UC2)* • Provider submits digitally signed document (bundle) to address request by payer • Payer validates the digital credentials, signature artifacts and, where appropriate, delegation of rights *User Stories for UC 1 and 2 have already been defined. Workgroup will help define bullets 1) and 4)
