Security and Privacy Considerations

This IG covers Security Label tagging, which supports, but is not sufficient to assure security and privacy. Typically, the information in scope for this IG is patient sensitive. This IG SHOULD be used in combination with a Privacy and Security Framework and risk assessment based on the FHIR Security Module, which provides guidance to support Communications, Authentication, Authorization, Privacy Consent, Audit Logging, Provenance, etc.

This IG is policy agnostic. However, any policy specific profile of this IG should include policy compliance statements relevant to applicable policies and laws.
