Περίληψη: | In this paper we present a complete reference framework for the operation of a Trusted Third
Party (TTP) as an organization within a medical environment. The objective is to form an intermediate
reference model, to which the TTPs will conform, towards the full compliance to the ISO-
9000 quality standard. There are two dimensions of quality in respect of a TTP, which are related to
specific medical environment issues: the first quality dimension regards the value-added security
services and products it provides, which must fulfil the user requirements and be characterized by
efficiency, reliability, security, credibility and trust.
The second quality dimension refers to the internal organization, which must maximize its effectiveness
by achieving efficient management, have a clear and strict structure and comply with the
registered internal procedures. The guidelines for achieving the above mentioned quality objectives
are reflected within the published Quality Policy Statement and the Certification Practice
Statement (CPS). |
