| Code | System | Display | Definition |
| SecurityPolicy | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | security policy | Types of security policies that further specify the ActClassPolicy value set. Examples: obligation to encrypt refrain from redisclosure without consent |
| AUTHPOL | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | authorization policy | Authorisation policies are essentially security policies related to access-control and specify what activities a subject is permitted or forbidden to do, to a set of target objects. They are designed to protect target objects so are interpreted by access control agents or the run-time systems at the target system. A positive authorisation policy defines the actions that a subject is permitted to perform on a target. A negative authorisation policy specifies the actions that a subject is forbidden to perform on a target. Positive authorisation policies may also include filters to transform the parameters associated with their actions. (Based on PONDERS) |
| ACCESSCONSCHEME | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | access control scheme | An access control policy specific to the type of access control scheme, which is used to enforce one or more authorization policies. Usage Note: Access control schemes are the type of access control policy, which is comprised of access control policy rules concerning the provision of the access control service. There are two categories of access control policies, rule-based and identity-based, which are identified in CCITT Rec. X.800 aka ISO 7498-2. Rule-based access control policies are intended to apply to all access requests by any initiator on any target in a security domain. Identity-based access control policies are based on rules specific to an individual initiator, a group of initiators, entities acting on behalf of initiators, or originators acting in a specific role. Context can modify rule-based or identity-based access control policies. Context rules may define the entire policy in effect. Real systems will usually employ a combination of these policy types; if a rule-based policy is used, then an identity-based policy is usually in effect also. An access control scheme may be based on access control lists, capabilities, labels, and context or a combination of these. An access control scheme is a component of an access control mechanism or "service") along with the supporting mechanisms required by that scheme to provide access control decision information (ADI) supplied by the scheme to the access decision facility (ADF also known as a PDP). (Based on ISO/IEC 10181-3:1996) Examples: Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) Discretionary Access Control (DAC) History Based Access Control (HBAC) Identity Based Access Control (IBAC) Mandatory Access Control (MAC) Organization Based Access Control (OrBAC) Relationship Based Access Control (RelBac) Responsibility Based Access Control (RespBAC) Risk Adaptable Access Control (RAdAC) > |
| DELEPOL | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | delegation policy | Delegation policies specify which actions subjects are allowed to delegate to others. A delegation policy thus specifies an authorisation to delegate. Subjects must already possess the access rights to be delegated. Delegation policies are aimed at subjects delegating rights to servers or third parties to perform actions on their behalf and are not meant to be the means by which security administrators would assign rights to subjects. A negative delegation policy identifies what delegations are forbidden. A Delegation policy specifies the authorisation policy from which delegated rights are derived, the grantors, which are the entities which can delegate these access rights, and the grantees, which are the entities to which the access rights can be delegated. There are two types of delegation policy, positive and negative. (Based on PONDERS) |
| ObligationPolicy | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | obligation policy | Conveys the mandated workflow action that an information custodian, receiver, or user must perform. Usage Notes: Per ISO 22600-2, ObligationPolicy instances 'are event-triggered and define actions to be performed by manager agent'. Per HL7 Composite Security and Privacy Domain Analysis Model: This value set refers to the action required to receive the permission specified in the privacy rule. Per OASIS XACML, an obligation is an operation specified in a policy or policy that is performed in conjunction with the enforcement of an access control decision. |

The system must retain an immutable record of the assignment and binding. Usage Note: In security systems, security policy label assignments do not change, they may supersede prior assignments, and such reassignments are always tracked for auditing and other purposes. |
| MASK | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | mask | Custodian system must render information unreadable and unusable by algorithmically transforming plaintext into ciphertext. User may be provided a key to decrypt per license or "shared secret". |
| MINEC | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | minimum necessary | Custodian must limit access and disclosure to the minimum information required to support an authorized user's purpose of use. Usage Note: Limiting the information available for access and disclosure to that an authorized user or receiver "needs to know" in order to perform permitted workflow or purpose of use. |
| PERSISTLABEL | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | persist security label | Custodian security system must persist the binding of security labels to classify information received or imported by information systems under its control for collection, access, use and disclosure in accordance with applicable jurisdictional privacy policies associated with the target information. The system must retain an immutable record of the assignment and binding. |
| PRIVMARK | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | privacy mark | Custodian must create and/or maintain human readable security label tags as required by policy. Map: Aligns with ISO 22600-3 Section A.3.4.3 description of privacy mark: "If present, the privacy-mark is not used for access control. The content of the privacy-mark may be defined by the security policy in force (identified by the security-policy-identifier) which may define a list of values to be used. Alternately, the value may be determined by the originator of the security-label." |
| PSEUD | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActCode | pseudonymize | Custodian system must strip information of data that would allow the identification of the source of the information or the information subject. Custodian may retain a key to relink data necessary to reidentify the information subject. |

Usage Note: Examples of activities conducted under this purpose of use: provider profiling, risk adjustment, underwriting, fraud and abuse, quality improvement population health and care management. Aligns with HIPAA Operation POU minus coordination of care or other treatment related activities. Similar to the description in SAMHSA Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking. Map: Maps to ISO 14265 Classification Term "Administration of care for an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons or processes responsible for enabling the availability of resources or funding or permissions for providing health care services to the subject of care." However, this classification term is described as activities, i.e., "to inform persons" or "to inform processes" rather than the rationale for performing actions/operations on information related to the activity. |

Label management includes classification of target data by constructing and binding of a label set per applicable policies, security policy information file semantics, and classification guides. Label management also includes process and procedures for subsequent revision of a label for, e.g., reclassification, downgrading classification, and declassification. Label revisions may be triggered by, e.g., expiry of classification period; changes in applicable policy, e.g., revocation of a consent directive; or changes in the governing policy domain in which the data is relocated or a copy of the data is sent. If a label is revised, an audit log should be kept and the provenance of the label changes should be tracked. |

May be post-coordinated or used with other purposes of use such as disease, discipline, specialty, population origins or ancestry, translational healthcare research. |
| DSRCH | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | disease specific healthcare research | To perform one or more operations on information for conducting scientific investigations to obtain health care knowledge. Use of the data must be related to specified conditions, diagnosis, or disease healthcare research. For example, conducting cancer research by testing reaction of tumor cells to certain biologics. May be used in combination with clinical trial and other healthcare research purposes of use. |
| POARCH | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | population origins or ancestry healthcare research | To perform one or more operations on information, including genealogical pedigrees, historical records, surveys, family health data, health records, and genetic information, for conducting scientific investigations to obtain health care knowledge. Use of the data must be related to population origins and/or ancestry healthcare research. For example, gathering genetic specimens from a specific population in order to determine the ancestry and population origins of that group. May be used in combination with clinical trial and other healthcare research purposes of use. |
| TRANSRCH | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | translational healthcare research | To perform one or more operations on information for conducting scientific investigations to obtain health care knowledge related to evidence based medicine during the course of providing healthcare treatment. Sometimes referred to as "bench to bedside", which is the iterative feedback loop between healthcare research and clinical trials with input from information collected in the course of routine provision of healthcare. For example, by extending a patient encounter to conduct a survey related to a research topic such as attitudes about use of a wellness device that a patient agreed to use. May be used in combination with clinical trial and other healthcare research purposes of use. |
| PATRQT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | patient requested | To perform one or more operations on information in response to a patient's request. |
| FAMRQT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | family requested | To perform one or more operations on information in response to a request by a family member authorized by the patient. |
| PWATRNY | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | power of attorney | To perform one or more operations on information in response to a request by a person appointed as the patient's legal representative. |
| SUPNWK | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | support network | To perform one or more operations on information in response to a request by a person authorized by the patient. |
| PUBHLTH | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | public health | To perform one or more operations on information for conducting public health activities, such as the reporting of notifiable conditions. |
| DISASTER | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | disaster | To perform one or more operations on information used for provision of immediately needed health care to a population of living subjects located in a disaster zone. |
| THREAT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | threat | To perform one or more operations on information used to prevent injury or disease to living subjects who may be the target of violence. |
| TREAT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | treatment | To perform one or more operations on information for provision of health care. |
| CLINTRL | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | clinical trial | To perform health care as part of the clinical trial protocol. |
| COC | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | coordination of care | To perform one or more actions on information in order to organize the provision and case management of an individual’s healthcare, including: Monitoring a person's goals, needs, and preferences; acting as the communication link between two or more participants concerned with a person's health and wellness; organizing and facilitating care activities and promoting self-management by advocating for, empowering, and educating a person; and ensuring safe, appropriate, non-duplicative, and effective integrated care. Usage Note: Use when describing these functions: 1. Monitoring a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. 2. Acting as the communication link between two or more participants concerned with a person's health and wellness. 3. Organizing and facilitating care activities and promoting self-management by advocating for, empowering, and educating a person. 4. Ensuring safe, appropriate, non-duplicative, and effective integrated care. The goal is to clearly differentiate this type of coordination of care from HIPAA Operations by specifying that these actions on information are undertaken in the provision of healthcare treatment. For similar uses of this concept, see SAMHSA Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, which differentiates concepts of care coordination and case management for the provision of treatment as specifically distinct from activities related to health care delivery management and the operations of organizational entities involved in the delivery of healthcare. Map: Maps to ISO 14265 Classification Terms: "Support of care activities within the provider organisation for an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons or processes enabling others to provide health care services to the subject of care." "Subject of Care Uses" described as "To inform the subject of care in support of his or her own interests." |
| ETREAT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | Emergency Treatment | To perform one or more operations on information for provision of immediately needed health care for an emergent condition. |
| BTG | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | break the glass | To perform policy override operations on information for provision of immediately needed health care for an emergent condition affecting potential harm, death or patient safety by end users who are not provisioned for this purpose of use. Includes override of organizational provisioning policies and may include override of subject of care consent directive restricting access. Map: Partially Maps to ISO 14265 Classification Term "Emergency care provision to an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons needing to provide health care services to the subject of care urgently, possibly needing to over-ride the policies and consents pertaining to Purpose 1 above." Purpose 1 is equivalent to HL7 treatment purpose of use: "Clinical care provision to an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons or processes responsible for providing health care services to the subject of care." The ISO description conflates both of the proposed specializations of HL7 ETREAT: break the glass and the typically broader access to health information normally available to providers who are provisioned for emergency workflows on a regular basis, e.g., Emergency Room providers. Examples of greater access than is normally accessible by providers based on the need to know are access to sensitive information for which access typically requires a patient's consent. This is not an override of a patient's dissent to disclose sensitive information in cases where the applicable policy waives the need for that consent to access this information. In US, Title 38 Section 7332 and 42 CFR Part 2 both permit emergency access without the need to override a patient's consent directive; rather, this access is a limitation to the patient's right to dissent from disclosure. |
| ERTREAT | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | emergency room treatment | To perform one or more operations on information for provision of immediately needed health care for an emergent condition in an emergency room or similar emergent care context by end users provisioned for this purpose, which does not constitute as policy override such as in a "Break the Glass" purpose of use. Map:Partially Maps to ISO 14265 Classification Term "Emergency care provision to an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons needing to provide health care services to the subject of care urgently, possibly needing to over-ride the policies and consents pertaining to Purpose 1 above." Purpose 1 is equivalent to HL7 treatment purpose of use: "Clinical care provision to an individual subject of care" described as "To inform persons or processes responsible for providing health care services to the subject of care."

In US, Title 38 Section 7332 and 42 CFR Part 2 both permit emergency access without the need to override a patient's consent directive; rather, this access is a limitation to the patient's right to dissent from disclosure. There is a semantic gap in concepts. This classification term is described as activities “to inform persons� rather than the rationale for performing actions/operations on information related to the activity. |
| POPHLTH | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ActReason | population health | To perform one or more operations on information for provision of health care to a population of living subjects, e.g., needle exchange program. |
