Abstract
This paper describes a project involving the planning and management of information security at a large private hospital. A high level model derived using the Soft Systems Methodology [5] named the Orion Strategy, was implemented and further developed during its application using Action Research. This method features a high level of user participation, including education seminars and workshops with senior and middle managers ofthe hospital. The project resulted in a noticeable improvement in information security measures at the hospital, a raised awareness of security issues and an acceptance of ownership by staff of the resultant security plan.
