Description
1.1 This provisional guide covers a framework for the protection of healthcare information. It addresses both storage and transmission of information. It describes existing standards used for information security which can be used in many cases, and describes which (healthcare-specific) standards are needed to complete the framework. Appropriate background information on security (and particularly cryptography) is included. The framework is designed to accommodate a very large (national or international), distributed user base, spread across many organizations, and it therefore recommends the use of certain (scaleable) technologies over others.
