Privacy And Security - AGFA Drystar 5302 Reference Manual

Privacy and security

Within the health care industry, several standardization efforts are ongoing as
a response to Privacy and Security legislation and regulations. The purpose of
this standardization for hospitals and vendors is to enable information
sharing, interoperability and to support the workflow of hospitals in a
multiple vendor environment.
In order to allow hospitals to comply with HIPAA regulations (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and to meet the IHE standards
(Integrated Healthcare Enterprise) some security features are included in the
user interface of the Drystar 5302 (available via the web pages only: under
'Security tools'. Refer to the chapter
PC (with browser)'):
•
User authentication. The administrator can configure different user
accounts. Each account consists of a user name and a password.
•
Audit logging. This implies logging to a central log server of specific
Drystar 5302 'actions', e.g. start-up/shut down, user authentication
(failures), received print job ID information, etc.
•
Node authentication, using certificates. Working with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) allows secure communications over an insecure network. SSL is the
security layer on top of TCP/IP.
The first two functions are available when access to the Administrator is
granted (i.e. when the Administrator password has been correctly entered).
To activate the SSL, please contact your Agfa representative.
