Avensus and DBHeroes enter collaboration
Information security in the healthcare sector is complex. The extensive network of healthcare providers, patients, health insurers, government agencies, software suppliers and other stakeholders play a role in the collection, storage, processing and transportation of enormous amounts of information, including patient data.
This is why DBHeroes and Avensus have entered into a unique partnership in the area of setting up databases and support with the implementation of NEN 7510.
NEN 7510
In order to provide the desired level of service to patients, it is necessary for healthcare providers to have reliable information available at all times. At the same time, it is important that sensitive information does not fall into the hands of unauthorised parties in order to protect patient privacy.
In addition, the joint use of information by these various parties requires standards in the areas of information storage, message format, communication protocols, definitions and coding of medical terms and, last but not least, information security.
NEN 7510 is the norm for information security within the healthcare sector in the Netherlands and is based on ISO 27001 with additional points of attention, specifically intended for the healthcare sector.
Confidential information that is only available to the patient and the healthcare provider who can access medical information if strictly necessary. But.... This will not happen by itself. Hospital IT organisations must set up their IT services in such a way that their healthcare institution complies with the NEN 7510, 7512 and 7513 standards. This standard is tested and verified annually for the required compliance by an external audit.
