Abstract
Description
The deficiencies found in conventional paper-based patient records,
practiced in healthcare service provision, have resulted in the emerging development
of electronic patient record (EPR) systems. This paper proposes a cryptographybased
EPR security model guaranteeing the patient’s record integrity, accountability,
confidentiality and patient record access consent. For this model several possible
cryptographic security mechanisms are studied. The advantages and disadvantages
of each scheme are considered, and based on the EPR requirements the mechanism
with best results is suggested.
