Health informatics - Audit trails for electronic health records (ISO 27789:2013)
ISO 27789:2013 specifies a common framework for audit trails for electronic health records (EHR), in terms of audit trigger events 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 or archives personal health information via the system.
ISO 27789:2013 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 audit 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 data, which are dealt with by general computer security standards such as ISO/IEC 15408-2.
Medizinische Informatik - Audit-Trails für elektronische Gesundheitsakten (ISO 27789:2013)
Diese Internationale Norm legt einen gemeinsamen Rahmen für Audit-Trails für elektronische Gesundheitsakten (eGA), für die auslösenden Ereignisse eines Audits und für Auditdaten fest, um die Auditierbarkeit des vollständigen Satzes der persönlichen Gesundheitsinformationen über Informations-systeme und Zuständigkeitsbereiche hinweg aufrechtzuerhalten.
Sie ist anwendbar für Systeme die persönliche Gesundheitsinformationen verarbeiten, entsprechend ISO 27799, und jedes Mal, wenn ein Benutzer über das System auf diese Informationen zugreift, sie erzeugt, aktualisiert oder archiviert, einen sicheren Auditeintrag erstellen.
ANMERKUNG Bei diesem Auditeintrag handelt es sich mindestens um eine eindeutige Identifizierung des Benutzers, eine eindeutige Identifizierung des Behandelten, eine Angabe der vom Benutzer ausgeführten Funktion (Erzeugung, Zugriff auf, Aktualisierung eines Eintrags usw.) und die Aufzeichnung des Datums und der Uhrzeit, zu dem die Funktion ausgeführt wurde.
Diese Internationale Norm beschränkt sich auf an elektronischen Gesundheitsakten ausgeführte Aktionen, welche durch die Zugriffsleitlinien für die Domäne bestimmt werden, in der die elektronische Gesundheitsakte liegt. Sie enthalten abgesehen von Bezeichnern keinerlei persönliche Gesundheitsinformationen aus der elektronischen Gesundheitsakte. Der Auditeintrag enthält lediglich entsprechend den jeweiligen Zugriffsleitlinien definierte Verknüpfungen zu eGA-Segmenten.
Die Spezifikation und Anwendung von Auditprotokollen für die Systemverwaltung und Systemsicherheit, zum Beispiel zur Erkennung von Leistungsproblemen und Anwendungsfehlern oder zur Unterstützung einer Datenrekonstruktion, liegen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieses Dokuments. Diese Aspekte sind bereits in allgemeinen Normen zur IT-Sicherheit, zum Beispiel in ISO/IEC 15408-2 [9], behandelt.
Anhang A enthält Beispiele für verschiedene Auditszenarien. Anhang B gibt einen Überblick über Dienste für eine Auditprotokollverwaltung.
Informatique de santé - Historique d'expertise des dossiers de santé informatisés (ISO 27789:2013)
L'ISO 27789:2013 spécifie une structure commune pour les historiques d'expertise des dossiers informatisés de santé (DIS), en termes d'événements déclencheurs d'expertise et de données d'expertise, afin de conserver l'ensemble des informations personnelles de santé pouvant être expertisées sur tous les systèmes et domaines d'information.
Elle s'applique aux systèmes de traitement des informations personnelles de santé qui, conformément à l'ISO 27799, créent un enregistrement d'expertise sûr chaque fois qu'un utilisateur crée des informations personnelles de santé, qu'il y accède, qu'il les met à jour ou qu'il les archive par le biais du système.
L'ISO 27789:2013 ne couvre que les actions effectuées sur le dossier informatisé de santé, qui sont régies par une politique d'accès propre au domaine dans lequel s'inscrit le dossier informatisé de santé. Elle ne traite pas des informations personnelles de santé issues de dossier informatisé de santé mais uniquement des identifiants, l'enregistrement d'expertise ne contenant que les liens menant aux segments du dossier informatisé de santé, tel qu'établi par la politique d'accès en vigueur.
Elle ne couvre pas non plus la spécification et l'utilisation des rapports d'expertise dans un but de gestion et de sécurité du système, par exemple pour la détection des problèmes de performance, des failles au niveau des applications, ou en tant que support pour la reconstruction des données, qui sont traitées par les normes de sécurité informatique générales telles que l'ISO/CEI 15408.
Zdravstvena informatika - Revizijske sledi za elektronske zdravstvene zapise (ISO 27789:2013)
Ta mednarodni standard določa splošen okvir za revizijske sledi za elektronske zapise v zdravstvenem varstvu (EHR) v zvezi z dogodki, ki sprožijo revizijo, in revizijskimi podatki, da se ohrani možnost revizije celotnega sklopa osebnih zdravstvenih podatkov v informacijskih sistemih in domenah. Uporablja se za sisteme, ki obdelujejo osebne zdravstvene podatke in v skladu s standardom ISO 27799 ustvarijo varen revizijski zapis vsakič, ko uporabnik dostopi do, ustvari, posodobi ali arhivira osebne zdravstvene podatke prek sistema. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava le ukrepe v zvezi z elektronskimi zapisi v zdravstvenem varstvu, ki jih ureja pravilnik dostopa za domeno, v kateri se nahaja elektronski zapis v zdravstvenem varstvu. Standard razen identifikatorjev ne obravnava osebnih zdravstvenih podatkov iz elektronskega zapisa v zdravstvenem varstvu, pri čemer revizijski zapis vsebuje le povezave do segmentov elektronskih zapisov v zdravstvenem varstvu, kot je opredeljeno v veljavnem pravilniku dostopa. Standard ne obravnava specifikacije in uporabe revizijskih dnevnikov za namene vodenja in varnosti sistema, kot je zaznavanje težav z delovanjem, napaka pri uporabi ali podpora za obnovo podatkov, ki so obravnavani v standardih s področja splošne računalniške varnosti, kot je ISO/IEC 15408. V dodatku A so navedeni primeri revizijskih scenarijev. Dodatek B zajema pregled storitev revizijskih dnevnikov.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national 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
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 given 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 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.

Introduction
0.1 General
Personal 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 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 support 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
information 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 such
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, it is necessary that audit trails contain sufficient inform
