Necessity to improve common understanding about the security issues among hospitals in Japan and some feasible approaches.
To improve common understanding about security issues, the importance of classifying the information is stressed, after describing briefly the social background concerning privacy-related problems in Japan. We discuss here the classification only from the following two points of view: (a) the ownership; and (b) how to use. We will derive a two-dimensional fuzzy membership function to describe the ownership and a 'how to use' three-dimensional one as models for describing the framework concerning access right and informed consent.
