In the medical world you have standards (HL7, DICOM, XDS) which are all about throwing large amounts of data around hospital networks (and in the case of XDS - outside). It's a castle with moat model of security - everything within the network is trusted and they focus on keeping the bad guys out.
Obviously that's a horrible strategy and it delivers the expected results..
Also your standards aren't entirely useful if you lack the inter-connectivity to employ them, the UIDs to be able to properly specify the data you are requesting, or restrictions on what data you are allowed to put within fields of the standardized data structures to make it easy to interpret by a program (believe it or not, with some standards this can also be a problem).
