Securing healthcare information in cloud

Abstract

Due to massive growth of technologies in past few years healthcare professionals used to store their patients information in the form of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which includes huge multimedia medical big data (MDB) such as X-rays, Ultrasounds, CT Scan, MRI Reports etc., in healthcare clouds. By means of healthcare cloud, a healthcare professional can be able to access the patient information in an efficient manner when the patient moves from one hospital to another. Even though, healthcare cloud provides easy access to patient data, security issues may happen that may be a leakage of data, privacy & lack of transparency, etc. The main scope of this study paper is to discuss about various terminology, technology and techniques about the latest methods of cloud computing used in healthcare maintenance system.
