Health care security and privacy, quality and safety.
Working group 6 of CEN/TC251 is concerned with the broad field of Security and Privacy, Quality and Safety in Health Care. In line with the priorities given by SOGITS, the first areas to be looked into, are those concerned with Data Protection in Health Care Information Systems. In order to successfully work on standardisation in this field, one has to take into account the generally low awareness for these problems, and the necessity to avoid increasing the gap between theory and practice. Work of WG6 will build to a large extent on the results of a related AIM-project (SEISMED). A sketch is given of ongoing work on this subject. Briefly, also other work items for WG6 are reviewed.
