While EHR Privacy and Security Architecture provides technical controls and safeguards to protect the patients’ personal health information in EHR, it requires each participating Health Service Provider to have efficient and effective management framework that supports the architecture. Privacy Management Reference Framework describes the governance, roles and responsibilities, and activities within a typical Health Service Provider to support EHR privacy and security.
Privacy Management Reference Framework illustrates a set of interrelated management components to manage privacy and security within HSP and support EHR.
There are many privacy and security framework and toolkits published by various health care organization or associations.
