A Patient-Centric Attribute Based Access Control Scheme for Secure Sharing of Personal Health Records Using Cloud Computing
2016
Personal health records (PHR) are an emerging health information exchange model, which facilitates PHR owners to efficiently share their private health data among a variety of users including healthcare professionals as well as family and friends. PHRs are usually outsourced and stored in third-party cloud platforms which relieves PHR owners from the burden of managing their PHR data while achieving better availability of health data. However, outsourcing private health data raises significant privacy concerns because there is a higher risk of leaking health information to unauthorized parties. To ensure PHR owners' control of their outsourced PHR data, attribute based encryption (ABE) mech…
A Distributed Multi-Authority Attribute Based Encryption Scheme for Secure Sharing of Personal Health Records
2017
Personal health records (PHR) are an emerging health information exchange model, which facilitates PHR owners to efficiently manage their health data. Typically, PHRs are outsourced and stored in third-party cloud platforms. Although, outsourcing private health data to third-party platforms is an appealing solution for PHR owners, it may lead to significant privacy concerns, because there is a higher risk of leaking private data to unauthorized parties. As a way of ensuring PHR owners' control of their outsourced PHR data, attribute based encryption (ABE) mechanisms have been considered due to the fact that such schemes facilitate a mechanism of sharing encrypted data among a set of intende…
Barriers to exchanging healthcare information in inter-municipal healthcare services: a qualitative case study
2018
Abstract Background In recent years, inter-municipal cooperation in healthcare services has been an important measure implemented to meet future demographic changes in western countries. This entails an increased focus on communication and information sharing across organisational borders. Technology enables efficient and effective solutions to enhance such cooperation. However, the systems in the healthcare sector tend not to communicate with one another. There is a lack of literature focusing on communication and information sharing in inter-municipal healthcare services. The aim of this article is to investigate both the characteristics of communication and information sharing, and the f…
Communication and information exchange between primary healthcare employees and volunteers - Challenges, needs and possibilities for technology suppo…
2019
In light of the challenges posed by an ageing population and tighter public budgets, governments worldwide are seeking innovative ways of improving health service delivery. Volunteers can contribute to such improvement, but this requires effective coordination and communication between volunteers and healthcare employees. In this case study, conducted in two Norwegian municipalities during September-October 2017, the aim was to understand how collaboration and coordination is carried out between several stakeholders: volunteers, volunteer family members of healthcare service users and healthcare employees. Our results show that daily cooperation was largely unsystematic, and stakeholders em…
