3a. Project Scope

To develop computable and interoperable default security labels in three related Implementation Guides, which will profile the security label syntax of three parent specifications: HL7 v2.9, DS4P CDA IG, and the FHIR DS4P IG, which is under development.
See Cross Paradigm CUI, Part 2, and 7332 Structure https://confluence.hl7.org/display/SEC/Cross+Paradigm+CUI%2C+Part+2%2C+and+7332+Structure

The CFR 32 Part 2002 Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Security Labeling IG will specify how designating Federal Healthcare Agencies and their contractors are to use HL7 Version 2, CDA, and FHIR security labels to indicate originator and recipient obligations to comply with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) policies. CUI policies dictate how:
○ Designating Federal Healthcare Agencies and their contractors (CUI terms such as designating agencies defined at https://www.archives.gov/cui/registry/cui-glossary.html) are to mark and render CUI to end users, and to enforce CUI security controls required of Federal Healthcare Agencies and their contractors
○ Non-federal CUI Recipients must persist, render, and enforce applicable CUI security controls, including NIST SP 800-171
○ A Federal Agency, federal contractor, or a downstream discloser must assign CUI
○ on disclosed information

The 42 CFR Part 2 and Title 38 Section 7332 Security Labeling IGs will specify how designating originators are to use HL7 Version 2, CDA, and FHIR security labels to computably indicate originator and recipient obligations to comply with 42 CFR Part 2 and Title 38 Section 7332. These laws dictate that recipients must comply with specified confidentiality protections for governed sensitive information in accordance with purpose of use limitations, obligations, and prohibitions.

The portions of this guidance for originators and disclosers will be profiles on existing HL7 Version 2.9 security label elements in FHS, BHS, MSH, and the ARV segment; the Data Segmentation for Privacy CDA IG, and FHIR Security Labels. The portions of this guidance for recipients will be platform specific requirements for the "Share with Protections" principles developed by the Security Work Group. Share with Protections principles are to intended to optimize sharing while balancing patient privacy and patient safety by ensuring that recipients persist and comply with the policies conveyed by the security labels assigned to the information they receive.
The V2, CDA, and FHIR CUI and Part2/7332 security labels will be cross mapped to enable transforms. Develop FHIR Trust Contract profile with Labeling Capability Statements for real time verification that sender/receiver are bound under agreements such as eHealth Exchange DURSA or RCE rules.

The resulting pattern for developing policy specific default security labels may be leveraged for other US federal and state privacy and consent directive laws, as well as for international privacy and consent directive laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
All resulting IGs will include profiles on the FHIR Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) Implementation Guide PSS.

3b. Project Need

To address the goals of the 21st Century Cures Act, participants in US healthcare exchange will be required to share sensitive information in accordance with governing privacy policies. Requirements to meet these laws are addressed in the latest version of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement proposal.

This project will focus on two national privacy laws governing sensitive information, 42 CFR Part 2 and Title 38 Section 7332. This IG intends to show how to achieve standards based consensus on default security labels for each policy to ensure interoperability and Share with Protections Trust Contracts .

To address 32 CFR Part 2002, most participants in US healthcare exchange will also be required to share CUI in accordance with CUI policies including:
• Executive Order 13556
• NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-171A
• CUI Marking Handbook
• CUI Registry - Health Information Category
• CUI Registry: Limited Dissemination Controls
• CUI Policy and Guidance

This IG intends to show how to achieve standards based consensus on default CUI security label for mainstream healthcare information exchange.

3h. Project Dependencies

Concurrent development of FHIR Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) Implementation Guide PSS FHIR Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) Implementation Guide PSS deliverables specifying FHIR security labeling rules in accordance with HL7 Privacy and Security Healthcare Classification System (HCS). This guide will profile FHIR DS4P IG for FHIR CUI, Part 2, and 7332 security labels.

We plan to use existing HL7 security labeling codes and value sets, which are currently bound to security label syntax in V2, DS4P CDA IG, and FHIR. These are extensive and stable.
We regularly add a few for emerging use cases, but nothing extensive.

3j. Backwards Compatibility

Yes

3k. Additional Backwards Compatibility Information (if applicable)

V2.9 BHS, FHS, MSH, and ARV fields used for security labeling can be pre-adopted by implementers of earlier versions of HL7 V2. DS4P CDA IG security labeling classes and attributes will be profiled and therefore backwards compatible. FHIR Security Labels will be profiled, again, backwards compatible.
