Project 370. Consumer Information Account

This project will tie HL7 models to information needed by consumers' views of healthcare data. The models can then be used to populate views used by the consumer (such as a portal to healthcare benefits). The models will enable the exposure of the provenance of the data being displayed through traceability to the data's source, date and context. This project is intended to be 'conveyance agnostic' - meaning the data may be delivered in any form - for example, through a document, a message, or the payload of a message. The project will develop a domain analysis model from which to determine what other products, such as an EOB RMIM or an online Consumer Consent CDA may be needed. Project will submit requests for product development to other workgroups as appropriate, e.g., the CBCC for DataConsent. Since EOB is within FM scope,
