Healthcare information system

Abstract

The 21st century has seen innovations in information technology and the healthcare sector is not left behind. Patient healthcare record has witnessed a transformation from a paper-based model to an electronic health-based system, more importantly, cloud-based frameworks have been suggested for storing and managing patient health record. However, security and privacy concerns have been an impediment and the relationship between suggested design and adoption is unclear. In this paper, we propose a framework from a public healthcare perspective that expressly captures patient records and stores these records in a secure database and is accessible for retrieval by authorized medical personnel and researchers. The framework aims to capture patient information with a unique security identifier and provides access within the infrastructure flow to the medical personnel on demand for effective diagnosis.
