1	_ActConsentInformationAccessOverrideReason	ActConsentInformationAccessOverrideReason	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient has not consented as deemed necessary by authorized entities for providing care in the best interest of the patient; providing immediately needed health care for an emergent condition; or for protecting public or third party safety. Usage Notes: Used to convey the reason that a provider or other entity may or has accessed personal healthcare information. Typically, this involves overriding the subject's consent directives.
2	OVRER	emergency treatment override	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient has not consented by authorized entities for treating a condition which poses an immediate threat to the patient's health and which requires immediate medical intervention. Usage Notes: The patient is unable to provide consent, but the provider determines they have an urgent healthcare related reason to access the record.
2	OVRINCOMP	incompetency override	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient has not consented because deemed incompetent to provide consent. Usage Note: Maps to v2 CON-16 Subject Competence Indicator (ID) 01791 Definition: Identifies whether the subject was deemed competent to provide consent. Refer to table HL7 Table 0136 - Yes/No Indicator and CON-23 Non-Subject Consenter Reason User-defined Table 0502 - Non-Subject Consenter Reason code NC "Subject is not competent to consent".
2	OVRPJ	professional judgment override	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient declined to consent for providing health care. Usage Notes: The patient, while able to give consent, has not. However the provider believes it is in the patient's interest to access the record without patient consent.
2	OVRPS	public safety override	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient has not consented for public safety reasons. Usage Notes: The patient, while able to give consent, has not. However, the provider believes that access to masked patient information is justified because of concerns related to public safety.
2	OVRTPS	third party safety override	To perform one or more operations on information to which the patient has not consented for third party safety. Usage Notes: The patient, while able to give consent, has not. However, the provider believes that access to masked patient information is justified because of concerns related to the health and safety of one or more third parties.
1	PurposeOfUse	purpose of use	Reason for performing one or more operations on information, which may be permitted by source system's security policy in accordance with one or more privacy policies and consent directives. Usage Notes: The rationale or purpose for an act relating to the management of personal health information, such as collecting personal health information for research or public health purposes.
2	HMARKT	healthcare marketing	To perform one or more operations on information for marketing services and products related to health care.
2	HOPERAT	healthcare operations	To perform one or more operations on information used for conducting administrative and contractual activities related to the provision of health care.
3	CAREMGT	care management	To perform analytics, evaluation and other secondary uses of treatment and healthcare related information to manage the quality, efficacy, patient safety, population health, and cost effectiveness of healthcare delivery. Explicitly excludes the use of information to organize the delivery of health care for care coordination and case management, or to provide healthcare treatment. Usage Note: The concept of care management is narrower than the list of activities related to more general organizational objectives such as provider profiling, education of healthcare and non-healthcare professionals; insurance underwriting, premium rating, reinsurance; organizational legal, medical review, auditing, compliance and fraud and abuse detection; business planning, development, and restructuring; fund-raising; and customer service. Map: Maps to ISO 14265 Classification Term "Health service management and quality assurance" described as "To inform persons or processes responsible for determining the availability, quality, safety, equity and cost-effectiveness of health care services." There is a semantic gap in concepts. 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.
3	DONAT	donation	To perform one or more operations on information used for cadaveric organ, eye or tissue donation.

Explicitly excludes the use of information to organize the delivery of health care for care coordination and case management, or to provide healthcare treatment. 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.
4	METAMGT	metadata management	To perform one or more operations on information to assign, persist, and manage metadata to healthcare data to characterize various aspects used for its indexing, discovery, retrieval, and processing by systems, applications, and end users. For example, master index identifier, media type, and location.

May be used in combination with clinical trial and other healthcare research purposes of use.
3	TRANSRCH	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.

3	CLINTRL	clinical trial	To perform health care as part of the clinical trial protocol.
3	COC	coordination of care	To perform one or more actions on information in order to organize the provision and case management of an individualâ€™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 personâ€™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."
3	ETREAT	Emergency Treatment	To perform one or more operations on information for provision of immediately needed health care for an emergent condition.
4	BTG	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.
4	ERTREAT	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."

There is a semantic gap in concepts. This classification term is described as activities â€œto inform personsâ€? rather than the rationale for performing actions/operations on information related to the activity.
3	POPHLTH	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.
