NHIN Workgroup Charge
To create a set of recommendations for a policy and
technical framework that allows the internet to be used
for the secure and standards-based exchange of health
information in a way that is both open to all and fosters
innovation.
The Workgroup will provide an initial set of recommendations
to the HIT Policy Committee in January.

Priority Focus Areas - Rationale
• Draft meaningful use criteria for 2011 implicates health information exchange among providers and with patients.
• A foundational element to achieve several of the criteria will be “push” of patient data from one provider to another, or from one organization to another (e.g., doctor to consultant, or lab to doctor, or doctor to pharmacy), where the sender may not have a prior relationship with the recipient.
Foundational NHIN Components
• Vocabulary Standards• Document / Message Standards• Directories and certificates• Delivery protocols• Authentication• Security and trust relationship

Priority Focus Area - Directories
• In examining the “push” function, the workgroup focused on the need for standardized, accessible directories that allow the sender to reliably locate the recipient – even the off-line recipient.
• The workgroup will host a public hearing on current approaches to directories on December 16.
• A second hearing, on authentication issues, is planned for January 7.
