aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2012/proceedings/ISHealthcare/17 Interconnected systems, such as electronic health records (EHR), considerably improved the handling and processing of health information while keeping the costs at a controlled level. Since the EHR virtually stores all data in digitized form, personal medical documents are easily and swiftly available when…

[:en] The average costs of data leakage are steadily on the rise. Especially in healthcare, the disclosure of sensitive information may have unfavorable consequences for the patient. As a consequence, several data security and access control mechanisms have been introduced, ranging from data encryption to…

Recognition and Pseudonymization of Personal Data in Paper-Based Health Records: E-health requires the sharing of patient-related data when and where necessary. Electronic health records (EHR) allow the structured and expandable collection of medical data needed for clinical research studies and thereby not only enable the…

[:en] The average costs of data leakage are steadily on the rise. As a consequence, several data security and access control mechanisms have been introduced, ranging from data encryption to intrusion detection or role-based access control, doing a great work in protecting sensitive information. However,…

[:en] Privacy-Preserving Storage and Access of Medical Data Through Pseudonymization and Encryption: E-health allows better communication between health care providers and higher availability of medical data. However, the downside of interconnected systems is the increased probability of unauthorized access to highly sensitive records what could…

Federated Health Information Systems (FHIS) integrate autonomous information systems of participating health care providers to facilitate the exchange of Electronic Health Records (EHR), which improve the quality and efficiency of patients‘ care. However, the main problem with collecting and maintaining the sensitive data in electronic…

DICOM has become the most widely implemented and supported communications standard for medical imaging. The security of DICOM relies on the encryption of the communication channels. However, for highly sensitive medical data this is often not sufficient. This paper presents a data model for systems…

ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp The outsourcing of databases to third parties has become a viable alternative to traditional in-house data management. Database management by third parties including the storage and maintenance allows companies to reduce their expenses and profit from the expertise of data storage specialists. However, the…
