Abstract

This study is to prepare an evaluation standard about personal information protection and security management of a medical institution and to build up a grade standard of evaluation in PACS environment. We built up evaluation index based on 10 detailed items in four big categories (political security, technical security, data management security and physical security) by referring to ISO17799 (BS 7799), HIPPA (Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and domestic medical law. We have investigated at the thirty places where medical facility with the extracted security criteria and security evaluation index. Average score of physical security list, one of the big categories, was 18.5/20 (93%) at all medical institutions. Political security score was 18.5/30 (62%), data management security score was 12/20 (60%) and technical security score was 17.5/30 (58%). Therefore, security evaluation score was average 67 in 30 general hospitals, which was 4th level. The results showed that it is necessary to establish evaluation and management standard about personal information protection and security consciousness which are weak in PACS environment.

본 연구는 의료기관 PACS 운영 및 영상정보관리 과정에서의 개인정보보호와 보안 관리에 대한 보안평가 기준 및 보안평가에 따른 등급기준을 마련하고자 하였다. 보안평가기준과 보안평가 등급기준의 지표를 도출하기 위해 ISO17799(BS 7799), HIPPA(Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), 국내 의료법 등을 참조하여 정책적 보안, 기술적 보안, 데이터관리 보안, 물리적 보안 등 4가지 항목을 대분류로 선정 후 10개의 세부 평가항목을 선정하여 점수화 하였다. 도출된 보안평가기준과 보안등급의 지표를 가지고 30곳의 의료기관에서 조사를 시행하였다. 대분류의 평가 요소 중 물리적 보안 항목의 전체 의료기관평균 점수는 20점 만점기준 18.5점(93%)으로 가장 우수한 점수를 나타내었으며, 정책보안항목 30점 기준18.5점(62%), 데이터관리 보안항목 20점 기준 12점(60%), 기술적 보안항목 30점 기준 17.5점(58%) 순임을 알 수 있었다. 30개 종합병원의 보안평가 점수는 평균 67점으로 4등급 수준을 나타내었다. PACS환경에서 취약한 개인정보보호 및 보안의식에 대한 관리기준 수립이 필요하다.
