Many research efforts are in progress for developing unified standards for Electronic Health Records. Such records can be shared for provisions of health care and research. Significant benefits can be realized when the proposed systems are used widely. Additional security requirements are crucial for their wide adoption. Patients want privacy and confidentiality. These systems will be deployed in...
We propose a novel model-driven application-level encryption solution to protect the privacy and confidentiality of health data in response to the growing public concern about the privacy of health data. Domain experts specify sensitive data which are to be protected by encryption in the application's domain model. Security experts specify the cryptographic parameters used for the encryption in a...
As the volume of data that is electronically available promliferates, the health-care industry is identifying better ways to use this data for patient care. Ideally, these data are collected in real time, can support point-of-care clinical decisions, and, by providing instantaneous quality metrics, can create the opportunities to improve clinical practice as the patient is being cared for. The business-world...
Patient-controlled Personal Health Record (PHR) systems may facilitate a patient not only to share her health records with healthcare professionals but also to control her health privacy, in a convenient and easy way. Governed by privacy protection laws, explicit consent/permission of the respective patient is a prerequisite for sharing personal health records. However, in emergency situations, when...
Privacy preservation has become an important requirement in information systems that deal with personal data. In many cases this requirement is imposed by laws that recognize the right of data owners to control whom their information is shared with and the purposes for which it can be shared. Hippocratic databases have been proposed as an answer to this privacy requirement; they extend the architecture...
Privacy is one of the fundamental issues in health care today. Although, it is a fundamental right of every individual to demand privacy and a variety of laws were enacted that demand the protection of patientspsila privacy, approaches for protecting privacy often do not comply with legal requirements or basic security requirements. This paper highlights research directions currently pursued for privacy...
Data mining plays a central role in knowledge discovery. It involves applying specific algorithms to extract patterns or rules from data sets in a particular representation. Many researchers in database and machine-learning fields are interested in this new research topic since it offers opportunities to discover useful information and important relevant patterns in large databases, thus helping decision-makers...
The research project aims at designing and implementing a Web based wireless mobile system security and privacy framework that is centered on the concepts of ubiquitous healthcare services provided to the patients in rural or remote areas from distant hospitals. With this system framework, a physician can securely access and carry the patient information from a mobile device, update the patient information...
Safeguarding patientspsila private information is one of the most challenging issues in the design and implementation of modern e-Health systems. Recent advances in Hippocratic Databases (HDB) show a promising direction towards the enforcement of privacy policies in e-Health systems. This paper tackles issues in applying the HDB design to e-Health systems. More specifically, we design an architecture...
