Un contributo informatico alla gestione della sicurezza negli ambienti sanitari

The security of electronic medical informations is very important for health care organisations, which have to enforce confidentiality, integrity and availability. In this paper the legal measures undertaken by European Community, Italy and US to regulate medical records use and disclosure, will be briefly introduced. Then, we shall highlight the ways information technology can contribute to face these problematics and, in particular, to the management of organisation policies. To this purpose, we will show a security policy modelling example for a radiological department.
