Abstract

Several countries, including the United States, Great Britain, Australia, France, and Germany, are developing an efficient architecture and mechanism for the confidential exchange of medical data while maintaining patient privacy[1]. A growing number of healthcare organizations are implementing electronic health records (EHR) to eliminate paper use gradually.
 Healthcare organizations and professionals’ benefit from online access to patient records and diagnostic transactions. Furthermore, it raises serious concerns regarding privacy issues relating to the private data of patients, e.g., patients do not want their private health information to be known since this may harm their reputation or create problems for their careers
