Hello everyone,

 

If it will help, the need to maintain the confidentiality of the TMCH Database (TMDB) was discussed by the Implementation Assistance Group (IAG), working between October 2011 and May 2012 and consisting of community volunteers. The IAG was convened to develop and recommend business requirements around specific issues in the provision of Sunrise and Claims Notification services through the TMCH.

 

The attached document excerpts some text from the IAG’s final report that seems to indicate that the IAG considered the question as to whether and why the TMDB was to be a confidential database. Please note that staff is providing this text purely for informational purposes, and takes no position as to whether or not the TMDB should continue to remain confidential.

 

Cheers

Mary

I've not yet seen any such articulated reasons.  Care to provide them?

I think the proponents of the closed database have repeatedly articulated the benefits they see in a closed database. That is the status quo. In order to change the status quo, it is the proponents for an open system that need to articulate (persuasively) an overriding need or benefit for such a change.

Question.

 

solutions for the issues and concerns that have been


mitigated by having the database be closed

 

Can someone please list the issues and concerns at issue here?

 

And, how has closing the database mitigated any of them?
