Panel

This attribute identifies one or more access control policies that specifically pertain to this RECORD_COMPONENT and which need to be communicated to the EHR Recipient to govern future access to it. The identifiers may refer to policy information included in this EHR_EXTRACT as defined in Part 4 of this standard, or to policies held in external policy servers to which the EHR Recipient has access.

From part 4:
Panel

In the 13606 Part 1 Reference Model every RECORD_COMPONENT within the EHR_EXTRACT includes an optional Policy_ID attribute to permit references to such policies to be made at any level of granularity within the EHR containment hierarchy. Every RECORD_COMPONENT may therefore reference any number of access policies or consent declarations that define the intended necessary privileges and profiles of principals (users, agents, software, devices, delegated actors etc) for future access to it.
It must be remembered that some policies may apply to particular RECORD_COMPONENTs within an EHR, whilst others may apply to the EHR as a whole.

This attribute is a good example of a refactored attribute. The intention in ISO 13606 is to mark each data node with the list of policies that apply to it. However, in an EHR system, the same information  model is very unlikely to be used, for at least one very basic reason: if the policies relating to a given data item or document were to change, changes would be required to the document itself. Instead, source systems are much more likely to have a policy srever server that references data items using whatever internal identification system is available.
