Audit Trail and Node Authentication - Radiology Option
The ATNA Radiology profile specifies basic security measures that can help protect the confidentiality of patient information as part of an institution's overall security policies and procedures. ATNA provides institutions with a mechanism to consolidate audit trail events on user activity across several imaging and information systems throughout the enterprise systems interconnected in a secure manner.
Summary
The Radiology Audit Trail Option defines the specific requirements of the IHE Radiology transactions for supporting the IHE ITI Audit Trail and Node Authentication profile. This option deals largely with the details of the Record Audit Event transaction in the IHE ITI Technical Framework. The option details the required audit events for each of the IHE Radiology transactions,based on the different trigger events.
Benefits
Securing the exchange of patient healthcare information, and logging key events during the processing of healthcare data increases the reliability of the underlying information systems and provides accountability for users of these systems. This is achieved by combining the ATNA requirements with the relevant IHE profiles, using industry standards like TLS and Syslog."

Systems Affected
All systems which participate in Radiology Framework transactions with corresponding audit events are affected. See Table 5.12 IHE Radiology transactions and resulting ATNA trigger events in volume 3 of the IHE Radiology technical framework.
