What is ISO/TS 11633-1- Health informatics about?
ISO/TS 11633-1 focuses on remote maintenance services (RMS) for information systems in healthcare facilities (HCFs) as provided by vendors of medical devices and health information systems.
ISO/TS 11633-1 specifies the risk assessment necessary to protect remote maintenance activities, taking into consideration the special characteristics of the healthcare field such as patient safety, regulations and privacy protections.
ISO/TS 11633-1 provides practical examples of risk analysis to protect both the HCF and RMS provider information assets in a safe and efficient manner. These assets are primarily the information system itself and personal health data held in the information system.
Who is ISO/TS 11633-1 - Health informatics for?
ISO/TS 11633-1 on Health informatics is useful for:
- Hospitals
- Medical diagnostics
- Insurance companies
Why should you use ISO/TS 11633-1 - Health informatics?
ISO/TS 11633-1 helps the users with specific guidelines on the remote maintenance services (RMS) for information systems in healthcare facilities (HCFs).
Guidance in ISO/TS 11633-1 is beneficial for the safe remote maintenance. The remote connections with external organizations also expose HCFs and vendors to risks regarding confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and systems; risks which previously received scant consideration.
HCFs owners and RMS providers in ISO/TS 11633-1 will be able to obtain the following benefits:
- Risk assessment can result in improved efficiency. If the risk assessment document created through the use of ISO/TR 11633-2 does not fully conform to ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/TS 11633-1 can be used in part in a risk assessment of an incompatible area, thus reducing the risk assessment effort required
- Documented validity of the RMS security countermeasures in place will be available to third parties
