Program

Buy ISO22857 today!ISO22857:2004 provides guidance on data protection requirements to facilitate the transfer of personal health data across national borders.

It covers both the data protection principles that should apply to international transfers and the security policy which an organisation should adopt to ensure compliance with those principles. Where a multilateral treaty between a number of countries has been agreed e.g. the EU Data Protection Directive, the terms of that treaty will take precedence.
This international standard aims to facilitate international health-related applications involving the transfer of personal health data. It seeks to provide the means by which data subjects, such as patients, may be assured that health data relating to them will be adequately protected when sent to, and processed in, another country.
National privacy and data protection requirements vary substantially and can change relatively quickly. Whereas this standard in general encompasses the more stringent of international and national requirements, it nevertheless comprises a minimum. Some countries may have some more stringent and particular requirements, and this should be checked.
