Identification and Allocation of Basic Security Rules in Healthcare Imaging Systems

Overview Guarding the confidentiality of individually identifiable patient data against compromise of its confidentiality while maintaining its integrity and recording details of access to it are explicitly mentioned in the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. This paper identifies a set of security and privacy rules that, if properly enforced by healthcare providers or their medical imaging Information Technology (IT), can help them meet their legal obligations. The paper suggests a logical allocation of the rules, showing which ones a healthcare provider might reasonably expect medical imaging IT to enforce, and which ones would need to be enforced by other means.
