Abstrakt: Aim: Health data is considered to be highly sensitive and the protection of health data is an ethical and legal responsibility for all health data managing structures. Healthcare organizations use various security measures and techniques to adopt a secure electronic health data recording system in which, in addition, they keep log data. Hospital Information System (HIS) developers had been keeping the log records according to their needs by making the necessary coding for the "changedelete" triggers. Therefore, there was a dire need to develop a common standard for keeping diaries in health information systems. This new standard was considered to be a guide for software developers and was named as Minimum Log Standards in Health (SAMILOG). This study explains the development process of SAMILOG. Method: Focus group meetings were held with seven developer companies. Several scenarios of unauthorized access or data breaches in a health information system were created. The participants discussed each scenario and they evaluated the best methods for keeping logs and which data should be kept as log in each case. Previously, a standard called Minimum Data Model- Minimum Veri Modeli (VEM) was developed to assist data migration to a new HIS software when the hospital administration decides to go for a change. The data field names of VEM standard were also used in this new SAMILOG standard. Results: In SAMILOG 1.0, which of the data elements in each VEM set should be logged was determined, it required an update for SAMILOG as the VEM was updated. Conclusion: SAMILOG v1.0 was announced in 2016 and since then in case of a security breach of health data of public hospitals in Turkey, it is primarily the data logged within the scope of SAMILOG which is examined.
