09/07/2007 AHIC successor / health care
privacy
The World Privacy Forum offered public comments on HHS' American Health
Information Community (AHIC) successor plans, urging that HHS adopt a
"no stakeholders left behind" policy as it forms the new public/private
AHIC. The Forum's analysis of the AHIC Successor White Paper concluded
that the current succession plans lack processes and checks that would
ensure meaningful consumer participation, and that the AHIC successor
plans as they currently stand do not bode well for a robust role for privacy
or consumer groups in the new AHIC. Specific issues the World Privacy
Forum discussed in its comments included fee structures, membership, handling
conflicts of interest, stakeholder issues, privacy and identifiability
issues, and the need for the new AHIC to achieve credibility.
