Abstract

Information technology (IT) plays an increasingly important and prominent role in the health sector. Data security is more important than ever to the healthcare industry and in world in general. The number of data breaches compromising confidential healthcare data is on the rise. For data security, cloud computing is very useful for securing data. Due to data storage issue, there is a need to use the electronic communication, and a number of methods have been developed for data security technology. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is one of the methods that can help in healthcare research. On stored database of patient in hospital or clinic, we can develop a conservational and analytical method so as to keep the medical records of the patients in a well-preserved and adequate environment. The method includes the improvement of working possibilities by delivering all the details necessary for the patient. All the information must be identified clearly. The protection of the privacy of the patients and the security of their information are the most imperative obstacles to obtain their intakes when considering the adoption of useful health data in the electronic field of healthcare industries.

Highlights

Health is very important and concerns all living things including human beings, the plants, the animals, the space, and the environment. e safety issue is becoming of more concern and concerns the security for all
In order to conduct a study on the technology that one can use to handle healthcare issues, it is important to look for all means that can enable to create a livable environment where people and surrounding live healthy and in harmony. e risk management determines the precautions to be taken regarding the nature of the data and surrounding environment
E research done by European regulation 2016/679 on 27 April 2016 speci es that the protection of personal data requires taking appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure level of safety appropriate to the risk and security of health care of a patient [1, 2]

Summary

Introduction

Health is very important and concerns all living things including human beings, the plants, the animals, the space, and the environment. e safety issue is becoming of more concern and concerns the security for all. The data management in health care was based on the security technology to support decision makers to establish a good data control and management. Many of these sources showed that including hospital information systems and medical service facture systems may be valid to date. E result found has shown that the current technology should be better to deal with the project goals and check the clarity of the generated information by the digitalization of the health data useful for health security. Technological advances will contribute, through the strengthening of privacy and security options, to better use of health data in order to inform health system decision making. E design and implementation of appropriate security and privacy measures are directly obtained from health
