A Reliable Cloud Service For Secure Health Data Access With Auditability

Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing segment of Information technology today. In simple words cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead on the computer's hard drive which can be accessed from any part of the world if the individual are connected to the internet or a network connection is available 24/7. A simple example of cloud computing is g-mail. With the connection of internet through any medium we can send and receive emails.

Cloud computing offers many advantages to both end users and businesses of all sizes. The advantages of cloud

In the healthcare field, there is a lot of innovative technology that helps professionals do their job more efficiently. There is vein visualization technology that allows for easier placement of IV’s. Electronic Healthcare Records is a very beneficial technology for both professionals and patients. This allows for easier auditing of charts and holds

Privacy of health information has become an area of emphasis across the healthcare industry. It is important to understand what data is protected under federal regulations, how it can be shared, and how to prevent any accidental exposure of protected data. It is possible that data that should be protected can be exposed without anyone even realizing a violation has occurred. Exposure of protected healthcare data can result in medical identity theft and is therefore a very important and hot topic. The security and privacy of healthcare data is necessary to ensure consumer confidence in the healthcare industry and to prevent medical identity theft.

Cloud computing is a new technology that comes with both benefits and drawbacks and like any new tech it can be used to great success when paired with steps to mitigate the security issues it raises. Cloud computing has become somewhat of an ambiguous term often having different meaning for different people. An article in InfoWorld (2013) stated, ”Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any

Nowadays, Personalized medicine is an promising way of treatment for the patients. Medical records make into standardize and manage in the form of Electronic Medical Record.(EMR). Personal health record (PHR) is essential for continuing the treatment, tracing the previous clinical reports and in taking drugs. The management of PHR by hand increases the time of processing and arise the complexity in storage problem. The health information exchange often outsources the data to be stored at a third party. Third party implements the encryption techniques for access control mechanism. The access control mechanism provides the security against intruders and unauthorized person.

The advancement in technology has changed the way the world functions and has become an important part of the lives of people. Consequently, the medical world has adopted the electronic medical records which ensure that patient’s information is stored electronically (Celluci, Wiggins & Woodhouse, 2010). The advantages of electronic medical records exceed the challenges that come along with it. Firstly, the records are accessible from any location at any time and therefore a patient’s medical team can efficiently coordinate care and this is more important in cases of emergency. Secondly, the electronic medical records have secure

Protecting data in the healthcare is extremely important as it contains valuable information about the patient like personally identified health information. The information is vital, as it exhibits a strong relationship between doctor and patient for dealing with any issues the patient might have. It provides, absolute care, and gives better information to a patient or physician required for the course of actions. The consequences that could take place with this information can be data breaches, such as unauthorized access to the information or data in health records, and can result in atypical activities. To avoid this, the data or the information in the Electronic Medical Records must be provided with strong privacy and security laws. International law provides Privacy and Security regulations to protect the data of health care organizations. Despite the laws implemented there are certain data breaches taking place in day-to-day life, which is growing. This paper reviews the privacy and security laws that are implemented and followed in the USA, India, and the European Union and in particular regional laws/ regulations and the differences between them. There are certain reporting obligations and penalties that must be obeyed in case of violation of these laws/ regulations which will discuss here. This paper also

The healthcare data should be accessible anytime, anywhere, secure and conform to privacy norms specified by HIPAA, PPACA, CFR etc. The data should be protected against accidental deletions through timely backups and a proper recovery mechanism. Several hospitals and healthcare

Health information is very valuable to increase the quality of patient care to meet the standers . The privacy and the security of patient health information holds high importance for the patient itself and her or his family. To keep it protected and secured is very valuable in health field, However when this information holds a risk upon the common good of society or could jeopardies someone, In my opinion the common good of society is equally important as the patient's personal information. There should be a system or a protocol to deal with information that holds a risk on someone else, cause our job is not to cause harm to the patient or to any one

In this paper I manage the favorable circumstances of distributed computing innovations in human services data frameworks. In the last few years, desires about patient protection data, therapeutic administrations, information maintenance, what 's more social insurance supplier accessibility have climbed significantly. The human services industry is confronting note worthy weights to bring down the expenses connected with giving social insurance, receive new frameworks that backing electronic medicinal records (EMR), and offer information rapidly and safely with other human services and government organizations. Lessening administration time for patient consideration is an alternate

User can store their data on cloud and reveal from the local data storage and its maintenance. Cloud is in a distributive in nature includes shared pool of configuring resources both in hardware and software. As an increasing number of clients who store their

Year after year, installing, upgrading, patching, backing up and, in general troubleshooting server issues was a taxing responsibility that burdened the day to day operations of a practice. Finally, a cloud based electronic health record (EHR) system removes the obligation from playing IT tech and lets one focus on managing practice operations and patient care. More and more, EHR vendors are developing cloud based systems due to the client demand for a product that is reliable, versatile, practical and convenient to all users, including physicians, staff, patients and third party companies. Introducing a practical workflow that streamlines the day to day processes to include record documentation, prescription, diagnostic and laboratory ordering, scheduling, insurance verification, billing and collection tasks, improve effectiveness and efficiency of the practice. As more importance is focused on patient care, as opposed to focusing on purchasing and maintaining hardware and software, a cloud based EHR system relieves some of the financial costs and time consuming duties associated with managing an on-site server. Providing bi-directional integration with laboratories and third party companies with an option to publish results to the patient portal plays a crucial role in enhancing patient doctor relationship while empowering patients to manage their health. Therefore, a cloud based EHR system adds considerable value to the medical practice. Cloud based EHR systems

Individual use on request -The resources can be used at anywhere, anyplace and at any time via a global network. There is no need for human intervention from a service provider in order to access the resources

Cloud as the term signifies means the computers in a network to be used for data storage remotely and for maintenance. The cloud computing offers reductions in costs and also has increased scalability, reliability and flexibility in its own processes, and is considered as todays one of the most exciting technologies and has seen a rapid growth over the past ten years. The Cloud computing uses advanced level of computational
