Liberty Alliance announced the formation of a new global group focused on enabling an internationally interoperable identity management and information exchange system for the healthcare sector. The group is co-chaired by John Fraser of MEDNET USA and Pete Palmer of Wells Fargo. Members are working to address how the healthcare industry will deliver secure identity management solutions that meet global regulatory mandates and ensure patient privacy.

Key from a policy perspective, the group is working closely with the Liberty’s Identity Assurance Expert Group (co-chaired by Frank Villavicencio with Citi and Alex Popowycz with Fidelity Investments) to ensure requirements for standardized and certified identity assurance levels in the healthcare sector meet criteria established in the Liberty Identity Assurance Framework (IAF).
