A new audit programme has been launched in Abu Dhabi to ensure that healthcare facilities are taking adequate measures to protect patients’ data.
The initiative called 'AAMEN' has been rolled out by the Department of Health (DoH).
It will focus on aspects related to cybersecurity as well as compliance with data privacy and information security standards.
Sixty entities will be audited before the end of the year, as part of the first stage of the programme.
Its subsequent phases will reach out to all healthcare facilities in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
"The AAMEN audit programme is a testament to our continuous efforts and dedication to laying a foundation for a robust patient data privacy ecosystem within the healthcare sector, especially as data protection becomes increasingly more important in the ever-changing digital era we are living in today," said Abdulla Bader Al Sayari, Chief Information Security Officer at DoH.
In March 2019, DoH launched the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS) that aims to provide a comprehensive guide to healthcare entities and professionals for the regulation of healthcare data.
It ensures the highest levels of privacy and security of patients’ data in line with international best practices.
