Security and privacy of electronic health records: Concerns and challenges
Open accessAbstract
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) can provide many benefits to physicians, patients and healthcare services if they are adopted by healthcare organizations. But concerns about privacy and security that relate to patient information can cause there to be relatively low EMR adoption by a number of health institutions. Safeguarding a huge quantity of health data that is sensitive at separate locations in different forms is one of the big challenges of EMR. A review is presented in this paper to identify the health organizations’ privacy and security concerns and to examine solutions that could address the various concerns that have been identified. It shows the IT security incidents that have taken place in healthcare settings. The review will enable researchers to understand these security and privacy concerns and solutions that are available.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
