Announcements:

Agenda:

- Identity Management use cases
  - Reducing human error/time on registration
    - Some data points still require checking/validation (i.e. last name, insurance, etc)
    - Could really reduce the re-collection of core data points (name, phone, race/ethnicity, etc)
    - Implementation Ideas:
      - Issuer
        Health System (big hospital)
        MRN is more consistent over time
        Payer
        Private
        Public
        Often the data is sourced from the state and can be stale
        Churn of payers
        Typically annual (with private)
        With eligibility changes (with public)
        Source of data:
        Drivers license
        State identity card
        Current hospital data
        Ancillary services issued identity credential
      - Verifier
        Health System
        Returning patient
        Avoid fuzzy name lookups to reduce duplication of persons
        Ancillary services: Labs, pharmacies, clinics, private practices
        Inheriting demographics
        Discrete link to hospital record (with MRN)
        MPI services
        Credit services
        University health care systems
        Long term care facilities
    - Benefits
      - Reduced fraud for payers and health systems
        ER, bait and switch (a covered patient presents at the desk, but a second person goes in for care)
      - User experience
      - In value based care, getting credit for services rendered or steps taken or reduction of patient health risk.
      - Patient access to their records (secure access) or to correctly identify records from another provider.
  - Helping maintain patient identity in low-structure use cases
  - Bridging clinical to social care with common patient identifiers
  - Reducing dependency on algorithmic matches to bridge identity proofed patient to fuzzy medical record link
    - Having a better ID to create better record in the first place
    - Could have definitive match rather than fuzzy
      - MRN and name, or more robust medical record- both have value
  - Next Steps
    - Boil down the idea(s)
    - Name it!
- Future Agendas:
  - Finalize white paper
    - 10/12 meeting (v2.1)
  - Additional Speakers
  - Revisiting use cases for trials and implementations
