title: The role of risk analysis in European harmonisation of security for healthcare information systems.
abstract: This paper examines the nature of security in the context of health care and explores the importance of the identification of risk. A brief description is given of the results of the risk analysis reviews conducted as part of the AIM project, SEISMED (Secure Environment for Information Systems in Medicine).
