ISO 21549-8:2010

ISO 21549‑8:2010 defines a way to facilitate access to distributed patient records and/or administrative information using healthcards. It defines the structure and elements of “links” typically stored in healthcards and representing references to individual patients' records as well as to subcomponents of them. Access control mechanisms, data protection mechanisms, access methods and other security services are outside the scope of ISO 21549‑8:2010.
