The standard has been re-developed by a Health Information Standards Organisation (HISO) working group including representatives from District Health Boards, central government agencies, academia and system vendors. The changes are significant.   The revised standard sets out updated requirements on healthcare agencies operating in the New Zealand health and disability sector. 

The purpose of the standard is to ensure that health information is captured, stored, transmitted and processed in a secure fashion.  A copy of the draft document can be found online at http://healthitboard.health.govt.nz/standards/health-information-standards-open-public-comment
