19、standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

20、 organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules gi

21、ven in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least

22、75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 27789 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 215, Hea

23、lth informatics.iv ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 27789:2013ISO 27789:2013(E)Introduction0.1 GeneralPersonal health information is regarded by many as among the most confidential of all types of personal information and protecting its confidentiality is essential if the privacy of subjects of

24、 care is to be maintained. In order to protect the consistency of health information, it is also important that its entire life cycle be fully auditable. Health records should be created, processed and managed in ways that guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of their contents and that suppor

25、t legitimate control by subjects of care in how the records are created, used and maintained.Trust in electronic health records requires physical and technical security elements along with data integrity elements. Among the most important of all security requirements to protect personal health infor

26、mation and the integrity of records are those relating to audit and logging. These help to ensure accountability for subjects of care who entrust their information to electronic health record (EHR) systems. They also help to protect record integrity, as they provide a strong incentive to users of su

27、ch systems to conform to organizational policies on the use of these systems.Effective audit and logging can help to uncover misuse of EHR systems or EHR data and can help organizations and subjects of care obtain redress against users abusing their access privileges. For auditing to be effective, i

28、t is necessary that audit trails contain sufficient information to address a wide variety of circumstances (see Annex A).Audit logs are complementary to access controls. The audit logs provide a means to assess compliance with organizational access policy and can contribute to improving and refining

29、 the policy itself. But as such a policy has to anticipate the occurrence of unforeseen or emergency cases, analysis of the audit logs becomes the primary means of ensuring access control for those cases.This International Standard is strictly limited in scope to logging of events. Changes to data v

30、alues in fields of an EHR are presumed to be recorded in the EHR database system itself and not in the audit log. It is presumed that the EHR system itself contains both the previous and updated values of every field. This is consistent with contemporary point-in-time database architectures.The audi

31、t log itself is presumed to contain no personal health information other than identifiers and links to the record.Electronic health records on an individual person may reside in many different information systems within and across organizational or even jurisdictional boundaries. To keep track of al

32、l actions that involve records on a particular subject of care, a common framework is a prerequisite. This International Standard provides such a framework. To support audit trails across distinct domains it is essential to include references in this framework to the policies that specify the requir

33、ements within the domain, such as access control rules and retention periods. Domain policies may be referenced implicitly by identification of the audit log source.0.2 Benefits of using this International StandardStandardization of audit trails on access to electronic health records aims at two goa

34、ls: ensuring that information captured in an audit log is sufficient to clearly reconstruct a detailed chronology of the events that have shaped the content of an electronic health record, and ensuring that an audit trail of actions relating to a subject of cares record can be reliably followed, eve

35、n across organizational domains.This International Standard is intended for those responsible for overseeing health information security or privacy and for healthcare organizations and other custodians of health information seeking guidance on audit trails, together with their security advisors, con

36、sultants, auditors, vendors and third-party service providers.0.3 Comparision with related standards on electronic health record audit trails ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 27789:2013ISO 27789:2013(E)This International Standard conforms to the requirements of ISO 27799:2008, insofar as they

37、 relate to auditing and audit trails.Some readers may be familiar with Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comment (RFC) 3881.13(Readers not already familiar with IETF RFC 3881 need not refer to that document, as familiarity with it is not required to understand this International Sta

38、ndard.) Informational RFC 3881, dated 2004-09 and no longer listed as active in the IETF database, was an early and useful attempt at specifying the content of audit logs for healthcare. To the extent possible, this International Standard builds upon, and is consistent with, the work begun in RFC 38

39、81 with respect to access to the EHR.0.4 A note on terminologySeveral closely related terms are defined in Clause 3. An audit log is a chronological sequence of audit records; each audit record contains evidence of directly pertaining to and resulting from the execution of a process or system functi

40、on. As EHR systems can be complex aggregations of systems and databases, there may be more than one audit log containing information on system events that have altered a subject of cares EHR. Although the terms audit trail and audit log are often used interchangeably, in this International Standard

41、the term audit trail refers to the collection of all audit records from one or more audit logs that refer to a specific subject of care or specific electronic health record or specific user. An audit system provides all the information processing functions necessary to maintain one or more audit log

42、s.vi ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 27789:2013INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 27789:2013(E)Health informatics Audit trails for electronic health records1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a common framework for audit trails for electronic health records (EHR), in terms of audit trigger ev

43、ents and audit data, to keep the complete set of personal health information auditable across information systems and domains.It is applicable to systems processing personal health information which, complying with ISO 27799, create a secure audit record each time a user accesses, creates, updates o

44、r archives personal health information via the system.NOTE Such audit records, at a minimum, uniquely identify the user, uniquely identify the subject of care, identify the function performed by the user (record creation, access, update, etc.), and record the date and time at which the function was

45、performed.This International Standard covers only actions performed on the EHR, which are governed by the access policy for the domain where the electronic health record resides. It does not deal with any personal health information from the electronic health record, other than identifiers, the audi

46、t record only containing links to EHR segments as defined by the governing access policy.It does not cover the specification and use of audit logs for system management and system security purposes, such as the detection of performance problems, application flaw, or support for a reconstruction of d

47、ata, which are dealt with by general computer security standards such as ISO/IEC 15408-2.9Annex A gives examples of audit scenarios. Annex B gives an overview of audit log services.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For da
