      RE "Data tagging is not always sufficient; in some instances data should not be sent at all."

      This IG is policy-agnostic and conceptual. Requirements for the policy specific use cases listed in this comment could be profiled for various policy specific use cases.

      Will incorporate the mentioned use cases in the IG.

    Description

      We would like to ensure that this IG provides for management of workers compensation and occupational health activities. Data tagging is not always sufficient; in some instances data should not be sent at all. Ex 1: information pertaining to a work-related event needs to be segregated and all other information needs to be protected, to prevent inadvertent transfer of information not related to a workers' compensation claim with others. Ex. 2: there is a need to prevent the inappropriate transfer of information that can indicate a risk for genetically transmitted diseases, including a family history of diseases, as specified in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). Ex. 3: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) needs to be included. Among other things, the ADA specifies how health information is to be managed in relationship to employment. For example, employers can be given doctor's notes about return-to-work limitations, but cannot be given diagnoses.
