Security<br />

An individual‟s health information is a taonga – it has great value and is sacred to them. It is<br />

therefore essential to ensure that health information is secure and that a patient's wishes are<br />

adhered to regarding its availability.<br />

Resilient<br />

Health Information Systems need to be resilient to external factors such as a localised<br />

disaster, so that critical information is available to those who legitimately need it wherever and<br />

whenever it is required, regardless of the challenges involved in ensuring its availability.<br />

Improving Data Quality<br />

Health information systems are large complex IT systems with numerous users and complex<br />

information flows. Data needs to be accurate and reliable as incorrect data can dramatically<br />

impact on a patients wellbeing. Continuous quality improvement philosophies need to be applied<br />

in order to ensure that the risk of error is minimized.<br />
