About this title

Synopsis

The Information Society initiatives that have been launched around the world will ensure that the citizens of Europe will be increasingly dependent upon Information Systems for the delivery of their Healthcare. The security issues that arise from this dependence are slowly being recognised and the development of appropriate standards to address these security issues is now under way. This book brings together a standards-based perspective on these developments and an outline of the available standards and the issues associated with them. It, also, outlines the MEDSEC training course on the Healthcare Security Standards.

From the Back Cover

Within the European Union's "Information Society Initiative in Standardisation", several partners from industry and universities worked on important aspects related to standards for security and privacy in the Information Society. The book deals with taxonomy of relevant standards, identification of gaps in standards and proposes requirements and specifications for emerging standards. The book is completed by reports on the application, demonstration and validation of selected standards. It promotes the awareness on the existence and usefulness of standards for privacy and security in Healthcare. The book addresses information scientists, healthcare professionals, administrators and managers but also politicians.
