Purpose
Any person can go into any willing medical provider's office and be identified and get care appropriate to their medial history.
Goals
- There are many cases where a patient presents themselves to a medical provider seeking care. The goal is that they will have some single identifier that they can use to recover their medical history.
- Clearly there will be lots of locations were medical records are retained. That will not change soon. This goal is that a single identifier can mediate access to all EHI.
- Clearly there will be some sort of sort of Bootstraping Identity and Consent that gets patient registered for this service, this paper will consider 3:
- The user has a Medicare number of the form US:CMS:32fs-233ii-9r38 that is already well-known to the medical community.
- The user comes with some Identifier that is not previously know to the provider, perhaps self-issued for cases where they will to take control of their own medical records recover.
Problems
- The big problem with any sort of Self-issued Identifier is Trust where there are no standards or examples of any trust without a history of trusted behavior.
