Abstract
This paper identifies and discusses recent information privacy violations or weaknesses which have been found in national infrastructure systems in Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA), two of which involve departments of health and social services. The feasibility of health information systems (HIS) based upon intrinsically more secure technological architectures than those in general use in today's marketplace is investigated. We propose a viable and sustainable IT solution which addresses the privacy and security concerns at all levels in HIS with a focus on trustworthy access control mechanisms.
