A Generic Methodology for Health Care Data Security |
The aim of the paper is to outline the framework of a generic methodology for specifying and selecting security countermeasures in health care environments. The method is specifically aimed at the enhancement of security in existing health care systems, and a key element is the use of predetermined "profiles" by which these may be classified. Example scenarios are presented to illustrate how the concept could be applied in practice.
