      As part of the reconciliation for FHIR-33524 we will update the text to reflect that confidentiality is a dynamic assignment that often depends on the context of the transaction and is inherently different from sensitivity labels that are based on the content of a resource.

       

      The other point regarding the increased confidentiality is well taken and is part of the updates in clarifying High Water Mark determination for a bundle of data.

    Description

      Page 28, cda Privacy Markings Section describes the assignment of confidentiality.  The confidentiality level of information is often contextual/combination driven.  How does DS4P handle the fact that a combination of data may increase its level of confidentiality?  Similarly, how does DS4P handle the fact that the confidentiality level of information (eg. phone numbers for military personnel deployed special ops vs. phone numbers for military personnel-non-deployed-special ops) may change based on the context?  The first instance of the phone numbers could be highly confidential whereas the second instance may be considered low confidentiality.
