Full title and description

ISO/TS 5777:2024 — Health informatics — The architecture of internet healthcare service network. This Technical Specification defines an engineering architecture and infrastructure deployment model for secure transmission of healthcare information across an internet-based healthcare service network connecting multiple healthcare organizations and services.

Abstract

The document provides an overview of an internet healthcare service network, describes infrastructure and deployment schemes, and specifies security considerations for information transmission between healthcare organizations. It emphasizes engineering architecture and practical deployment patterns; Annex A illustrates implementation of information systems and services within organisations.

Scope

Applies to the construction and application of an internet healthcare service network used for healthcare information transmission among various healthcare organisations. The scope covers high-level architecture, infrastructure and deployment schemes, and core security requirements intended to guide engineering and deployment of interoperable internet-based healthcare services. Annex A provides examples of organisational implementation.

Key topics and requirements

• Architectural overview of an internet healthcare service network (conceptual and engineering viewpoints).
• Network infrastructure and deployment schemes (service layers, nodes, gateways, and deployment topologies).
• Security and privacy measures for healthcare information exchanged over internet services (authentication, confidentiality, integrity, access control, and secure channels).
• Interoperability considerations to support service-based information exchange between disparate healthcare organisations.
• Guidance for implementing information systems and services within organisations (illustrative material in Annex A).

Typical use and users

Intended for health IT architects, network and systems engineers, healthcare IT vendors, integrators, hospital IT departments, regional/national health authorities, and organisations planning or operating internet-based healthcare service networks who need guidance on architecture, deployment and security of health information exchange over internet services.

Related standards

Belongs to the ISO/TC 215 health informatics family and complements other health-informatics standards addressing EHR communication, service architecture and security (for example ISO 13606 parts on EHR communication and ISO 12967 series on service architecture). Users should consider this TS alongside established interchange, security and service-architecture standards published under ISO/TC 215.
