Paper Title
Cloud-Based Service For Electronic Medical Record Exchange
Abstract
The importance of healthcare information technology has increased dramatically during the past few years. This
information requires a large storage space. Cloud computing is known for its fast computation capability. Through cloud
computing, the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in a hospital can be integrated, to facilitate the exchange and
sharing of electronic medical records. It raised the importance of interoperability and data exchange between e-health
applications and Health Information Systems, which resulted in increased concerns for securing sensitive data and data
exchange. This data can be accessed by various Hospitals, Insurance companies and Patients. This project emphasizes
standardizing a data exchange mechanism and interoperability between Health Information Systems (HIS) and e-health
applications across a cloud-based service. The proposed service provides an entry for retrieving Electronic Medical Records
among the various Health Information Systems that a patient record is stored in and for any e-health application seeking such
information. Moreover, this proposes a unified secure platform that provides developers, health care providers, and
organizations access to a framework to retrieve and manage medical records and Personal Health Records (PHR) among
various subscribers.
