Hello Peter: The context is that the pmrm group wants to identify a well-defined use case so that members may work more quickly to move to the next step to apply the proposed methodology. I imagine that we may consider examining a few candidate use cases and choose one. The HITSP group obviously put a lot of effort in developing use cases or business scenarios for various healthcare transactions. Privacy and security issues arise in many of the transactions. This link explains HITSP's direct role with HIT and the ONC:
http://www.hitsp.org/government.aspx . According to David Blumenthal's letter and the notice on the front page of
http://www.hitsp.org/ " HITSP?s contract with HHS concluded on April 30, 2010" - less than a year ago . Dr. Blumenthal's letter suggest that HITSP supported the HIT's standards committee and the Interim Final Rule. I am not sure what HITSP's status is now. As I am currently examining Google Health, I noticed that Blumenthal's letter is addressed to John Hamalka who chaired the HITSP effort. From recollection, he is also on Google Health's advisory board. The latter has nothing pertinent to do with this group. I simply enjoy connecting dots.. Best, Dawn.

Who follows these standards and what is the environment in which these standards are supported? Thanks in advance.
