title: Protection of privacy of personal health information: the Australian standard approach.
abstract: Effective privacy protection is a difficult problem, but it must be solved if we are to realize the benefits of electronic health information. The Australian Standard Personal Privacy Protection in Health Care Information Systems and its underpinning conceptual model address both the human and the technological parts of a pragmatic solution to privacy based on internationally accepted principles. This standard may offer useful guidance in an international context.
