Work Groups

Shift Workstreams

We have three foundational workstreams, working together to accomplish our goals of equitable interoperability through technical standards and implementation guidance. The Implementation workstream is identifying consensus of health care professionals, technical experts, and patient advocates in key areas of privacy ethics and implementation. The Technical workstream is working to create demonstrations of data redaction, patient consent, and partial record sharing using both new and existing technology. The Terminology workstream is focused on identifying, creating, and finding stewards for national terminology value sets specifically focused on the contents of data elements included within our use cases. 

Shift Work Groups

All of our work is guided by our four work groups. Together the Ethics & Equity, Legal & Policy, Patient Perspective, and Clinical Expertise work groups bring their expert knowledge and diverse lived experiences to provide the workstreams and the Task Force with relevant resources and new information. Most importantly, they work tirelessly to ensure that our work is aligned with our mission of advancing safe, equitable, and patient-empowered sharing of health information.
