Audit Trail and Node Authentication [ATNA] describes certificate-based node authentication and transmitting PHI-related audit events to a repository. This helps sites implement confidentiality policies.

The Audit Trail and Node Authentication (ATNA) Integration Profile establishes security measures which, together with the Security Policy and Procedures of the enterprise, provide patient information confidentiality, data integrity and user accountability. The Audit Trail and Node Authentication Integration Profile requires the use of bi-directional certificate-based node authentication for connections to and from each node, and requires that events concerning PHI use are recorded and transmitted to a repository where they can be monitored to detect indications of inappropriate activity.

Framework.  The ATNA core is section 9 of volume 1, and sections 3.16 and

3.17 of Volume II.  The underlying DICOM standard can be found at:
ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/supps/sup95_fz.pdf  The underlying
RFC can be found at a variety of RFC repositories.  ATNA specializes these
for some purposes, but also invokes their general support so that we don't
have to redefine ATNA every time a new profile specializes an audit
message for some new purpose.  There are individual profile
specializations scattered through all the different frameworks. This makes
it hard for an implementer.  It's easy to pull out the core sections as a
starting point, but not the individual profile specializations.
 
You find sections of specializations in some of the other technical
frameworks.  Radiology is probably the most complete for this.  This
scattering of requirements  reflects a fundamental conflict of
documentation uses.  From one perspective you would like it all in one
place, and from another perspective you want it documented in the sections
that will actually be read by implementers.
We have done this only for profiles that were most critical (e.g. XDS, RFD, EUA, XUA). There is some interested in RID and PIX, we need help to create prioritized CP requests for clarity on profiles that the IHE community needs assistance with.
 
 
There is also some historical funny business.  Originally HL7 was going to
issue an HL7 side equivalent to DICOM's Supplement 95, but that lost
sponsorship and got abandoned.  So DICOM threw together some partial stuff
to cover the immediate needs of the imaging community.  It deals with only
those HL7ish things that happen to DICOM equipment (like receiving
orders).  DICOM didn't attempt to handle the rest of the HL7 world.  So
the various IHE domains get creative in a variety of ways.
