The Application Programming Interface (API) Task Force will be charged with:
- Identify perceived security concerns and real security risks that are barriers to the widespread adoption of open APIs in healthcare.
- For risks identified as real, identify those that are not already planned to be addressed in the Interoperability Roadmap (for example, identity proofing and authentication are not unique to APIs);
- Identify perceived privacy concerns and real privacy risks that are barriers to widespread adoption of open APIs in healthcare.
- For risks identified as real, identify those that are not already planned to be addressed in the Interoperability Roadmap (for example, harmonizing state law and misunderstanding of HIPAA);
- Identify priority recommendations for ONC that will help enable consumers to leverage API technology to access patient data, while ensuring the appropriate level of privacy and security protection.
