Patient Information Security

2253 Words10 Pages

The increasing adoption of information systems in healthcare has led to a scenario where patient information security is more and more being regarded as a critical issue. Allowing patient information to be in insecure risk may lead to irreparable damage. Medical images play a crucial role in such context, given their importance in diagnosis, treatment, and research. Therefore, it is vital to take measures in order to prevent tampering and determine their source. This demands adoption of security mechanisms to assure information integrity, authenticity and confidentiality. Here implementing an algorithm for secured sharing of medical images and data using a crypto based approach with the consideration of the tampering localization to improve …show more content…

Introduction
Health is a one of the most basic needs of men. The right to health and medical care is one of the fundamental human rights. Nowadays, information systems are present in many areas in a healthcare institution. Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient's clinical health status. It allows users in various locations to view medical images at the same time and improves patient care by allowing radiologist to provide service without having to be at patient location. This requires handling of security issues when dealing with medical information. The necessity of secure diagnosis is vital in the medical world. The transmission of data is a daily routine and is necessary to find a reliable way to transmit them over networks. Therefore, security is increasingly playing a relevant role in the healthcare field in order to provide services like information integrity, authenticity and …show more content…

In this work Implementing a crypto-based algorithms capable of providing confidentiality and verifying authenticity and integrity of DICOM images with tamper localization scheme. Unlike the DICOM standard and other crypto-based schemes, the proposed algorithms provide confidentiality, authenticity and integrity for both constitutes of the DICOM images: the header data and the pixel data. Strong crypto- graphic functions with externally and internally generated symmetric keys and hash codes are used in the implementation of the algorithms. A major contribution of the algorithm is the strong bond established between the pixel data and header data and also included a tamper localization with the application of reversible watermarking scheme without any division of medical

Healthcare providers and organizations are obligated and bound to protect patient confidentiality by laws and regulations. Patient information may only be disclosed to those directly involved in the patient’s care or those the patient identifies as able to receive the information. The HIPAA Act of 1996 is the federal law mandating healthcare organizations and clinicians to safeguard patient’s medical information. This law corresponds with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act to include security standards for protecting electronic health information. The healthcare organization is legally responsible for establishing procedures to prevent data

Confidentiality and data breaches are a few of the main concerns, as many providers become neglectful when sharing patient electronic health information. Current use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) has proven to be helpful for hospitals and independent medical practice to provide efficient care for patients. Balestra reports that using computers to maintain patient health records and care reduces errors, and advances in health information technology are saving lives and reducing cost (Balestra, 2017). As technology advances EHR are going to continue to be the main method of record keeping among medical providers. Therefore, staff and medical providers need to be trained on how to properly share patients EHR safely and in a secure form in order to maintain patient confidentiality.

Adding more parties to sharing data along with the time it takes to complete a cohesive DURSA agreement can be lengthy and costly. Another challenge of HIE is that HIEs can sometimes be viewed as providing duplicative information or solutions offering patient portals or patient related information directly to the consumer. Health information exchange has three key forms: directed exchange, query-based exchange, and consumer mediated exchange. Directed exchange is the “ability to send and receive secure information electronically between care providers to support coordinated care” Examples of patient information include ancillary test orders and results, patient care summaries, or consultation reports. The encrypted patient information is electronically sent securely between parties with an established relationship.

Abstract- Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), with various data mining techniques being applied to assist physicians in diagnosing patient disease with similar symptoms, has received a great attention recently. The advantages of clinical decision support system include not only improving diagnosis accuracy but also reducing diagnosis time. In this paper, we have given the CDSS with some advance technologies like Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier has offered many advantages over the traditional healthcare systems and opens a new way for clinicians to predict patient’s diseases. As healthcare is the field in which Security of data related to patient diseases are needs to be more secure, for that in this paper, we have use RSA

Abstract : Steganography is the methodology in science that involves communicating secret data in an appropriate multimedia carrier for e.g. video, audio and image files. Audio steganography hides data in a audio signal which is a cover signal without any modification in that cover signal. Generally, Steganography concept is confused with other technique such as cryptography and watermarking, but objectives such as imperceptibility, capacity of hidden data and robustness draws thin line between them. The prime goal of steganography is to reliably send hidden information secretly, and not to reveal its presence. In this paper audio steganography (part of technical steganography) algorithm will be implemented on FPGA board to improve performance
