Health informatics - Privilege management and access control - Part 1: Overview and policy management (ISO 22600-1:2014)
The distributed architecture of shared care information systems is increasingly based on networks. For meeting the interoperability challenge, the use of standardised user interfaces, tools and protocols, which ensures platform independence, is growing and consequently the number of really open information systems based on corporate networks and virtual private networks has also been rapidly growing during the last couple of years.
This multi part International Standard defines privilege management and access control services required for communication and use of distributed health information across policy domain boundaries.
The document introduces principles and specifies services needed for managing privileges and access control. It specifies the necessary component based concepts and is intended to support their technical implementation. It will not specify the use of these concepts in particular clinical process pathways.
This International Standard is strongly related to other ISO/TC 215 work such as ISO 17090 “Public Key Infrastructure”, ISO 22857 “Health Informatics – Guidelines on data protection to facilitate transborder flows of personal health information” and ISO 21091 ”Health informatics - Directory services for security, communications and identification of professional and patient”. It is also related to the work in progress on ISO/TS 21298 “Health informatics – Functional and structural roles”.
This International Standard is intended to support the needs of healthcare information sharing across unaffiliated providers of healthcare, healthcare organisations, health insurance companies, their patients, staff members and trading partners.
This International Standard is intended to support inquiries from both individuals and application systems.
This multi part International Standard Specification defines methods for managing authorisation and access control to data and/or functions. It accommodates policy bridging. It is based on a conceptual model where local authorisation servers and cross border directory and policy repository services can assist access control in various applications (software components). The policy repository provides information on rules for access to various application functions based on roles and other attributes.
The directory service enables identification of the individual user. The granted access will be based on four aspects:
The authenticated identification of the user
The rules for access to a specific information object including purpose of use
The rules regarding authorisation attributes linked to the user provided by the authorisation manager
The functions of the specific application
This International Standard should be used in a perspective ranging from a local situation to a regional or national. One of the key points in these perspectives is to have organisational criteria combined with authorisation profiles agreed upon from both the requesting and delivering side in a written Policy Agreement.
The International Standard supports collaboration between several authorisation managers that may operate over organisational and policy borders. The collaboration is defined in a Policy Agreement, signed by all involved organisations, and constitutes the set of rules for the operation.
In Part1, a documentation format is proposed, as a template for representing the Policy Agreement, which makes it possible to obtain comparable documentation from all parties involved in the information exchange.
This International Standard excludes platform-specific and implementation details. It does not specify technical communication services and protocols which have been established in other standards. It also excludes authentication techniques.
Medizinische Informatik - Privilegienmanagement und Zugriffssteuerung - Teil 1: Übersicht und Policy-Management (ISO 22600-1:2014)
Diese mehrteilige Internationale Norm legt Grundsätze fest und spezifiziert die für das Privilegienmanagement und die Zugriffssteuerung auf Daten und Funktionen erforderlichen Dienste.
Sie konzentriert sich auf die Kommunikation und Nutzung von gesundheitsbezogene Informationen, die über die Grenzen von Policy-Domains hinweg verteilt werden. Das umfasst die gemeinsame Nutzung von gesundheitsbezogenen Informationen durch nicht miteinander verbundene Anbieter und Organisationen des Gesundheitswesens, Krankenversicherungen, deren Patienten, Mitarbeiter und Handelspartner sowohl durch Einzelpersonen als auch durch Anwendungssysteme im Bereich von einer lokalen zu einer regionalen oder auch nationalen Situation.
Sie legt die erforderlichen komponentenbasierten Begriffe fest und soll deren technische Implementierung unterstützen. Sie legt jedoch nicht fest, wie diese Begriffe in speziellen klinischen Prozessabläufen zu verwenden sind.
Dieser Teil von ISO 22600 schlägt eine Textschablone (Template) für die Darstellung der Policy-Vereinbarung vor. Es ermöglicht die vergleichbare Dokumentation von allen am Informationsaustausch beteiligten Parteien.
Dieser Teil von ISO 22600 enthält weder plattformspezifische noch implementierungstechnische Einzelheiten. Sie legt keine technischen Kommunikationsdienste und -protokolle fest, die bereits in anderen Normen festgelegt sind. Sie enthält auch keine Authentisierungsverfahren.
Informatique de santé - Gestion de privilèges et contrôle d'accès - Partie 1: Vue d'ensemble et gestion des politiques (ISO 22600-1:2014)
L'ISO 22600 définit les principes de gestion des privilèges et de contrôle d'accès aux données et/ou aux fonctions et spécifie les services nécessaires à ces activités.
Elle se concentre sur la communication et l'utilisation des informations de santé distribuées au-delà des limites d'un domaine de politique. Cela inclut le partage d'informations de santé entre professionnels de santé non affiliés, établissements de santé, sociétés d'assurance-maladie, patients, membres du personnel et partenaires commerciaux, par des individus tout comme par des systèmes d'application utilisés dans un contexte local, voire régional ou même national.
Elle spécifie les concepts nécessaires pour chaque composante et est destinée à faciliter leur mise en oeuvre technique. Elle ne spécifiera pas l'utilisation de ces concepts pour des cheminements de processus cliniques particuliers.
L'ISO 22600-1:2014 propose un modèle d'accord de politique, qui permet d'obtenir de toutes les parties impliquées dans l'échange d'informations une documentation comparable.
Zdravstvena informatika - Upravljanje privilegijev in dostopovno krmiljenje - 1. del: Pregled in politika upravljanja (ISO 22600-1:2014)
Porazdeljena arhitektura informacijskih sistemov v skupni rabi vedno bolj temelji na omrežjih. Za izboljšanje interoperabilnosti se povečuje uporaba standardiziranih uporabniških vmesnikov, orodij in protokolov, kar zagotavlja neodvisnost platforme, in posledično se v zadnjih nekaj letih hitro povečuje tudi število odprtih informacijskih sistemov, ki temeljijo na poslovnih omrežjih in navideznih zasebnih omrežjih. Ta mednarodni standard v več delih določa storitve za upravljanje privilegijev in dostopovno krmiljenje, ki so potrebne za sporočanje in uporabo porazdeljenih zdravstvenih informacij prek političnih meja in meja domen. Dokument predstavlja načela in določa storitve, ki so potrebne za upravljanje privilegijev in dostopovno krmiljenje. Določa potrebne koncepte za komponente in je namenjen za podporo njihovi tehnični izvedbi. Ne določa uporabe teh konceptov na določenih poteh kliničnih postopkov. Ta mednarodni standard je močno povezan z drugimi dokumenti ISO/TC 215, kot so ISO 17090 »Infrastruktura javnih ključev«, ISO 22857 »Zdravstvena informatika – Smernice za zaščito podatkov za omogočanje čezmejnega pretoka osebnih zdravstvenih informacij« in ISO 21091 »Zdravstvena informatika – Imeniške storitve za varnost, komunikacijo in identifikacijo zdravstvenega osebja in pacientov«. Povezan je tudi z nastajajočim dokumentom ISO/TS 21298 »Zdravstvena informatika – Funkcijske in strukturne vloge«. Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je podpora potrebam po skupni rabi zdravstvenih informacij med nepovezanimi izvajalci zdravstvenega varstva, zdravstvenimi organizacijami, podjetji, ki se ukvarjajo z zdravstvenim zavarovanjem, njihovimi pacienti, člani osebja in poslovnimi partnerji. Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je tudi podpora poizvedbam s strani posameznikov in sistemov uporabe. Ta specifikacija mednarodnega standarda v več delih določa metode za upravljanje avtorizacije in dostopovno krmiljenje podatkov in/ali funkcij. Omogoča premostitev politike. Temelji na konceptualnem modelu, v katerem so lahko lokalni strežniki za avtorizacijo ter čezmejne imeniške storitve in storitve za repozitorije politike v pomoč pri dostopovnem krmiljenju v različnih aplikacijah (komponente programske opreme). Repozitorij politike vsebuje informacije o pravilih za dostop do različnih funkcij aplikacij na podlagi vlog in drugih atributov. Imeniška storitev omogoča identifikacijo posameznega uporabnika. Omogočen dostop bo temeljil na štirih vidikih: overjeni identifikaciji uporabnika; pravilih za dostop do določenega informacijskega objekta, vključno z namenom uporabe; pravilih glede atributov za avtorizacijo, povezanih z uporabnikom, ki jih zagotovi upravitelj avtorizacije; funkcijah določene aplikacije. Ta mednarodni standard naj bi se uporabljal na lokalni, regionalni ali nacionalni ravni. Eden ključnih delov pri tem je združitev organizacijskih kriterijev s profili avtorizacije na podlagi pisnega sporazuma o politiki, ki ga skleneta obe udeleženi strani. Mednarodni standard podpira sodelovanje med upravitelji avtorizacije, ki lahko delujejo prek organizacijskih in političnih meja. Sodelovanje je določeno v sporazumu o politiki, ki ga podpišejo vse udeležene organizacije in vsebuje nabor pravil za delovanje. V 1. delu je predlagana oblika dokumentacije kot predloga za predstavitev sporazuma o politiki, kar omogoča pridobitev primerljive dokumentacije od vseh strani, ki so udeležene v izmenjavi informacij. Ta mednarodni standard ne vključuje podrobnosti o platformi in izvedbi. Ne določa storitev za tehnično komunikacijo in protokolov, ki so bili vzpostavljeni v drugih standardih. Prav tako ne vključuje tehnik za overjanje.

ISO 22600-1:2014(E)
Introduction
The distributed architecture of shared care information systems is increasingly based on corporate
networks and virtual private networks. For meeting the interoperability challenge, the use of
standardized user interfaces, tools, and protocols, which ensures platform independence, but also the
number of really open information systems, is rapidly growing during the last couple of years.
As a common situation today, hospitals are supported by several vendors providing different applications,
which are not able to communicate authentication and authorization since each has its own way of
handling these functions. For achieving an integrated scenario, it takes a remarkable amount of money,
time, and efforts to get users and changing organizational environments dynamically mapped before
starting communication and cooperation. Resources required for the development and maintenance
of security functions grow exponentially with the number of applications, with the complexity of
organizations towards a regional, national, or even international level, and with the flexibility of users
playing multiple roles, sometimes even simultaneously.
The situation becomes even more challenging when inter-organizational communications happens,
thereby crossing security policy domain boundaries. Moving from one healthcare centre to another or
from country to country, different rules for privileges and their management can apply to similar types
of users, both for execution of particular functions and for access to information. The policy differences
between these domains have to be bridged automatically or through policy agreements, defining sets of
rules followed by the parties involved, for achieving interoperability.
Another challenge to be met is how to improve the quality of care by using IT without infringing the
privacy of the patient. To provide physicians with adequate information about the patient, a virtual
electronic health care record is required which makes it possible to keep track of all the activities
belonging to one patient regardless of where and by whom they have been performed and documented.
In such an environment, a generic model or specific agreement between the parties for managing
privileges and access control including the patient or its representative is needed.
Besides a diversity of roles and responsibilities, typical for any type of large organization, also ethical
and legal aspects in the healthcare scenario due to the sensitivity of person-related health information
managed and its personal and social impact have to be considered.
Advanced solutions for privilege management and access control are required today already, but
this challenge will even grow over the next couple of years. The reason is the increase of information
exchanged between systems in order to fulfil the demands of health service providers at different care
levels for having access to more and more patient-related information to ensure the quality and efficiency
of patient’s diagnosis and treatment, however combined with increased security and privacy risks.
The implementation of this International Standard might be currently too advanced and therefore not
feasible in certain organizational and technical settings. For meeting the basic principle of best possible
action, it is therefore very important that at least a policy agreement is written between the parties
stating to progress towards this International Standard when any update/upgrade of the systems is
intended. The level of formalization and granularity of policies and the objects these policies are bound
to defines the solution maturity on a pathway towards the presented specification.
The policy agreement also has to contain defined differences in the security systems and agreed
solutions on how to overcome the differences. For example, the authentication service and privileges
of a requesting party at the responding site have to be managed according to the policy declared in
the agreement. For that reason, information and service requester, as well as information and service
provider on the one hand, and information and services requested and provided on the other hand, have
to be grouped and classified in a limited number of concepts for enabling the specification of a limited
number of solution categories. Based on that classification, claimant mechanisms, target sensitivity
mechanisms, and policy specification and management mechanisms can be implemented. Once all
parties have signed the policy agreement, the communication and information exchange can start with
the existing systems if the parties can accept the risks. If there are unacceptable risks which have to be
eliminated before the information exchange starts, they also have to be recorded in the policy agreement

ISO 22600-1:2014(E)
together with an action plan stating how these risks have to be removed. The policy agreement also has
to contain a time plan for this work and an agreement on how it has to be financed.
The documentation of the negotiation process is very important and provides the platform for the policy
agreement.
Privilege management and access control address security and privacy services required for
communication and cooperation, i.e. distributed use of health information. It also implies safety aspects,
professional standards, and legal and ethical issues. This International Standard introduces principles
and specifies services needed for managing privileges and access control. Cryptographic protocols are
out of the scope of this International Standard.
This three-part International Standard references existing architectural and security standards as well
as specifications in the healthcare area such as ISO, CEN, ASTM, OMG, W3C, etc., and endorses existing
appropriate standards or identifies enhancements or modifications or the need for new standards. It
comprises of:
— ISO 22600-1: describes the scenarios and the critical parameters in information exchange across
policy domains. It also gives examples of necessary documentation methods as the basis for the
policy agreement.
— ISO 22600-2: describes and explains, in a more detailed manner, the architectures and underlying
models for privilege management and access control which are necessary for secure information
sharing including the formal representation of policies.
— ISO 22600-3: describes examples of implementable specifications of application security services
and infrastructural services using different specification languages.
It accommodates policy bridging. It is based on a conceptual model where local authorization servers and
cross-border directory and policy repository services can assist access control in various applications
(software components). The policy repository provides information on rules for access to various
application functions based on roles and other attributes. The directory service enables identification
of the individual user. The granted access will be based on four aspects:
— the authenticated identification of principals (i.e. human users and objects that need to operate
under their own rights) involved;
— the rules for access to a specific information object including purpose of use;
— the rules regarding authorization attributes linked to the principal provided by the authorization
manager;
— the functions of the specific application.
The International Standard supports collaboration between several authorization managers that can
operate over organizational and policy borders.
This International Standard is strongly related to other ISO/TC 215 works such as ISO 17090 (all parts),
ISO 22857, ISO 21091, and ISO 21298.
This International Standard is meant to be read in conjunction with its complete set of associated
standards.

Part 1:
Overview and policy management
1 Scope
This multi-part International Standard defines principles and specifies services needed for managing
privileges and access control to data and/or functions.
It focuses on communication and use of health information distributed across policy domain boundaries.
This includes healthcare information sharing across unaffiliated providers of healthcare, healthcare
organizations, health insurance companies, their patients, staff members, and trading partners by
both individuals and application systems ranging from a local situation to a regional or even national
situation.
It specifies the necessary component-based concepts and is intended to support their technical
implementation. It will not specify the use of these concepts in particular clinical process pathways.
This part of ISO 22600 proposes a template for the policy agreement. It enables the comparable
documentation from all parties involved in the information exchange.
This part of ISO 22600 excludes platform-specific and implementation details. It does not specify
technical communication services and protocols which have been established in other standards. It also
excludes authentication techniques.
