Security Considerations

​See QORE Security Considerations

There must be a trusted connection between the Data Sender and Data Consumer. This will be carried out in implementation and can either be a business relationship or a secured connection done through ATNA. The Data Sender has control of what information will be sent. This transaction may include identifiable health information, or it may leverage deidentification, see the ITI De-Identification White Paper for guidance. Depending upon the implementation and application, may constitute a disclosure of health information that requires audit, encryption, and authentication of the Data Consumer and Data Creator. For further guidance, see ITI TF-2.x: Appendix Z.8 “Mobile Security Considerations” Note: This assumes the approval of the current ITI-CP-1036 regarding Appendix Z.8 “Mobile Security Considerations”.
