ISO 27001, Information Technology - Security Techniques - Information Security Management Systems - Requirements, is the newest management system standard to help ensure information security. This leading-edge tool is becoming extremely important to the Healthcare Industry as more and more organizations look to adopt the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMSs).
This standard enables health service providers to organize information security processes and document subsequent actions in a format that allows for the implementation of security controls that can be customized to their specific needs.
Registering to the standard demonstrates to partners in the continuum of care and patients/clients that your health service organization is committed to maintaining privacy and security of any information contained in each patient/client’s EMR.
