Abstract:
With the advent of the cloud computing and its associated challenges,
building a secured electronic health record (EHR) in a cloud computing
environment has attracted a lot of attention in both healthcare industry and
academic community. Cloud computing concept is becoming a popular
information technology (IT) infrastructure for facilitating EHR sharing and
integration. In this study we discuss security concepts related to EHR sharing
and integration in healthcare clouds and analyse the arising security and
privacy issues in access and management of EHRs. This paper focus on the
current challenges that comes with the use of the cloud computing for EHR
purposes.
