It was just yesterday when electronic health records were just introduced into the healthcare sector. People were not ready to accept it due to the increased costs and time consumption associated with training staff and adopting new technologies. Despite all this criticism, the use of the Internet and electronic health records is gaining popularity among healthcare professionals, as it is the most effective way to communicate with patients and colleagues. More and more hospitals and clinics are getting rid of the paper-based filling system and investing in cloud storage. According to HIMSS, the electronic health record (EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated from one or more encounters in any care delivery placement. Includes information from patient demographics, medications, to lab reports. The introduction of electronic health records into healthcare organizations aimed to improve the quality of care and reduce costs by standardizing means of communication and reducing errors. However, this raises the “eyebrows” of many when it comes to patient confidentiality and privacy within healthcare organizations. The problem is1. Information transfer: The problem is remote access to medical records and the sharing of large amounts of data for various purposes, such as research programs and laboratory work, which can lead to errors and confusion.2. Lack of centralization of information: Many patients track their blood sugars, weight, and blood pressure using various Internet tools. However, healthcare providers cannot access these records because they cannot streamline them with the EHR.3. Security Theft: Internet tools like Google Health and Microsoft Vault provide the convenient...... half of the paper ......identity of users by agreeing to the policy that data sent to their cloud platform will be kept confidential. (Ryan, 2011) Cloud computing is still in the development stage, but if it can maintain the privacy and confidentiality of information, it will become revolutionary in the healthcare field. And you never know, in the future science and technology may introduce more advanced apps and services with a greater level of privacy and security measures. Personalized patient health cards are also a long-simmered technology that could provide patients with the freedom to own their own PHI. Transferring data from one hospital to another would not be a challenge with these password protected health cards. Privacy would not be a big issue as all the information is stored in the card chip which can be retrieved by a healthcare provider or patient when needed.
