Secure Electronic Health Records for Personalized Patient Care

Abstract

With the ever-changing landscape of healthcare today, there is a growing demand for effective, safe and patient-oriented approaches to managing health information. This project presents a secure electronic health record (EHR) solution that enhances the way that both patients and providers manage their health records. It centralises health data; supports the patient in controlling their own record; and contains advanced security features to eliminate data silos, increase the ability of patients to control what is shared with their providers and improve communication among providers. By using cloud computing, encryption, and access control the solution promotes patient engagement in their care, allows for better access to health information by patients and providers, and facilitates better clinical decision-making.
