Developing a strategic framework for healthcare standards.
This paper uses the example of information security to consider ways of ensuring that standards development matches evolving market needs within appropriate timeframes. It then considers the use of simple process maps as a way to identify interdependencies between emergent standards within specific domains, as well as generic characteristics that cross domain boundaries. It concludes by briefly examining issues that lie beyond the traditional technical orientation to consider its extension to information content and safety.
