Abstract
Information technology is increasingly used in healthcare with the
goal to improve and enhance medical services and to reduce costs. One of the
areas with greatest needs having available information at the right moment and
with high accuracy is healthcare. With the widespread use of electronic health
record (EHR), building a secure EHR sharing environment has attracted a lot of
attention in both healthcare industry and academic community. Cloud
computing paradigm is one of the popular health IT infrastructure for
facilitating EHR sharing and EHR integration. Healthcare clouds offer new
possibilities, such as easy and ubiquitous access to medical data, and
opportunities for new business models. However, they also bear new risks and
raise challenges with respect to security and privacy aspects. Ensuring the
security and privacy is a major factor in the cloud computing environment.
In this paper, we will present current state of the art research in this field. We
focused of several shortcomings of current healthcare solutions and standards,
particularly for platform security, privacy aspect and requirements which is a
crucial aspect for the overall security of healthcare IT systems.
