Existing Health Management Systems are faced with various security and privacy issues such as unauthorized Access to Patient Records, internet security issues, etc. The proposed system mainly focuses on the security of Electronic Medical Records . The purpose of the project entitled “A SECURE eHealth SYSTEM” is to develop software which is user-friendly, fast, and cost-effective. It deals with the collection of patient’s information, Doctor details, Medical information. Traditionally, it was done manually. The main function of the system is to register and store patient details, add symptom and doctor details and retrieve these details as and when required, and also to manipulate these details meaningfully. System input contains patient details, doctor details while system output is to appoint a doctor for the patient, display these details on the screen, securely generated electronic medical records, forward prescriptions to the medical store. The eHealth system can be entered using a unique ID generated during registration and password. It is accessible either by a doctor, patient, pharmacist. Only registered members add data into a database. The data can be retrieved easily. The data is well protected and the data processing becomes very fast.

Treatment And Prevention

The current information systems for the registration and control of electronic medical records (EMR) present a series of problems in terms of the fragmentation, security, and privacy of medical information, since each health institution, laboratory, doctor, etc. has its own database and manages its own information, without the intervention of patients. This situation does not favor effective treatment and prevention of diseases for the population, due to potential information loss, misinformation, or data leaks related to a patient, which in turn may imply a direct risk for the individual and high public health costs for governments. One of the proposed solutions to this problem has been the creation of electronic medical record (EMR) systems using blockchain networks; however, most of them do not take into account the occurrence of connectivity failures, such as those found in various developing countries, which can lead to failures in the integrity of the system data. To address these problems, HealthyBlock is presented in this paper as an architecture based on blockchain networks, which proposes a unified electronic medical record system that considers different clinical providers, with resilience in data integrity during connectivity failure and with usability, security, and privacy characteristics. On the basis of the HealthyBlock architecture, a prototype was implemented for the care of patients in a network of hospitals. The results of the evaluation showed high efficiency in keeping the EMRs of patients unified, updated, and secure, regardless of the network clinical provider they consult.

The challenge of securing large amounts of electronic medical records stored in a variety of forms and in many locations, while still making it available to authorized users, is huge. Pressure to maintain privacy and protection of personal information is a strong motivating force in the development of security policies. It is essential for health care organizations to analyze, assess and ensure security policies to meet these challenges and to develop the necessary policies to ensure the security of medical information.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTIONNew Zealand health policy encourages patient access to their electronic medical records via portals. AIMTo discover patient and general practitioner (GP) perspectives of access to electronic medical records and e-messaging in the early portal implementation phase. METHODSIn 2014, Auckland primary health organisations and an Accident & Medical organisation were asked to invite their GPs to complete an online survey and consent for a researcher to attend their waiting room and invite patients to complete a survey. RESULTSIn total, 421 patients (13% Māori, 18% Pacific, 7% Asian, 53% NZ European/Other) participated from 13 general practices. Most (77%) knew they were entitled to see their medical records and 90% were interested in viewing them. Over two-thirds thought that viewing their records online and e-messaging their practice was a good idea. Over 80% disagreed that they would be worried, confused or embarrassed by seeing their records, with 59% expecting portals to facilitate understanding of their medical conditions. Internet security and privacy concerned 40% of patients. Among 83 GPs who completed the survey, six (7%) had already implemented portals. Few were comfortable to open up the whole health record, especially visit notes. While GPs thought that portal access may help patients better understand their plan of care, their main concerns related to causing confusion and worry. Portal implementation was expected to change GP documentation and increase practice workload and costs without demonstrable benefit to practices. DISCUSSIONAt the beginning of portal adoption, patients were interested. GPs were more reticent, unsure whether the benefits would outweigh the downsides for their patients and practice workload.

With the development of big data and medical information control system, electronic medical records sharing across organizations for better medical treatment and advancement has attracted much attention both from academic and industrial areas. However, the source of big data, personal privacy concern, inherent trust issues across organizations and complicated regulation hinder the great progress of healthcare intelligence. Blockchain, as a novel technique, has been used widely to resolve the privacy and security issues in electronic medical records sharing process. In this paper, we propose a hybrid blockchain–based electronic medical records sharing scheme to address the privacy and trust issues across the medical information control systems, rendering the electronic medical records sharing process secure, effective, relatively transparent, immutable, traceable and auditable. Considering the above confidential issues, we use different sharing methods for different parts of medical big data. We share privacy-sensitive couples on the consortium blockchain, while sharing the non-sensitive parts on the public blockchain. In this way, authorized medical information control systems within the consortium can access the data on it for precise medical diagnosis. Institutions such as universities and research institutes can get access to the non-sensitive parts of medical big data for scientific research on symptoms to evolve medical technologies. A working prototype is implemented to demonstrate how the hybrid blockchain facilitates the pharmaceutical operations in a healthcare information control ecosystem. A blockchain benchmark tool Hyperledger Caliper is used to evaluate the performance of hybrid blockchain–based electronic medical records sharing scheme on throughput and average latency which proves to be practicable and excellent.
