In the security workgroup's thread on Google Project Nightingale, , someone proposed that HL7 add something to declare "why I believe I have a right to this data." I'm misquoting that (in haste) but I love the idea, at first blush: as I said in a reply, it would enable the kind of trust that I think consumers will need to have.

yes, there are two different things being discussed. ( a ) including details in a request for data that expresses why the data should be released, and ( b ) including details in data as it is communicated expressing the authorized uses that the data is released for.
both ( a ) and ( b ) have partial solutions, so it is important to separate out where solutions exist and where they do not exist. Most of ( a ) is what OAuth fundimentally does, and ( b ) is what the Consent resource does...
This said, I am working with Jose to define a generic rules Resource that can be used for use-cases that are not strictly a one-by-one patient privacy Consent. Getting more involvement would be good.
to be specific.. .Patient centric use-cases are the primary use-cases for Consent; the usecases that are not covered are very much NON patient centric.

I wonder if someone would be interested in a version of my FHIR Privacy and Security tutorial where I flip the audience to be patients? That is to explain not the internal workings, but the patient centric function that is enabled with enough breadcrumbs that the patient empowerment group can advocate for those FHIR Privacy and Security functionalities to be promoted? I recognize that this stuff is technical and geeky, but it is there because it is needed for patients. https://healthcaresecprivacy.blogspot.com/2019/09/hl7-tutorial-fhir-privacy-and-security.html

I appreciate the idea (a lot!) but I'm confused (probably too clueless) by trying to figure this out, so I'll leave it to more-savvy others.

@John Moehrke Our CARIN folks would be very interested in discussing this work and may be able to lend some support. Can we connect offline?

Sounds like good input to our discussions.

I expect to have some progress in Sydney

The Permission resource was published right after the Sydney WGM. It's draft, hasn't gone through discussions yet, but now is the time to have such discussions.

Great. What would you suggest as next steps @Jose Costa Teixeira?

We started discussing during yesterday's Security call. I think we should continue those discussions. Concretely:

  1. Define a set of scenarios that we want to enable, and respective requirements

  1. Use the existing mechanisms (and placeholders like the Permission resource) to see how these scenarios can be implemebted

@John Moehrke is this fitting to the calls you suggested to have?

Also, question: I left the Permission resource incomplete, must change a data type (Backbone to Expression). Do I need a Jira ticket for that?

Yes these are the steps. It is more normal to do the use-case gathering and use-case analysis on confluence prior to putting something into the build, but it is there now. During Draft FMM, changes can be made as part of that drafting CR. It is best to have a CR so that tracking of changes is discoverable.
