AWS healthimaging documentation change

Service: healthimaging · 2026-03-19 · Documentation low

File: healthimaging/latest/devguide/security_iam_service-with-iam.md

Summary

Updated service-linked roles support from 'No' to 'Yes', added note about DICOM Study/Series UID condition statements, corrected action prefix from 'AWS' to 'medical-imaging', and added CloudWatch metrics integration details

Security assessment

This change updates documentation to reflect that HealthImaging now supports service-linked roles for CloudWatch metrics publishing and adds information about DICOM UID-based condition statements for access control. The correction of the action prefix from 'AWS' to 'medical-imaging' fixes documentation accuracy but doesn't indicate a security issue. The addition of condition statement documentation enhances security feature documentation.
