Health records security alert sms system
Abstract : The privacy of patients and the security of their information is the most imperative barrier to entry when considering the adoption of electronic health records in the healthcare industry. Considering current legal regulations, this review seeks to analyze and discuss prominent security techniques for healthcare organizations seeking to adopt a secure electronic health records system. Additionally, the researchers sought to establish a foundation for further research for security in the healthcare industry. The researchers utilized the Texas State University Library to gain access to three online databases: PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source. These sources were used to conduct searches on literature concerning security of electronic health records containing several inclusion and exclusion criteria. Researchers collected and analyzed 25 journals and reviews discussing security of electronic health records, 20 of which mentioned specific security methods and techniques. The most frequently mentioned security measures and techniques are categorized into three themes: administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. The sensitive nature of the information contained within electronic health records has prompted the need for advanced security techniques that are able to put these worries at ease. It is imperative for security techniques to cover the vast threats that are present across the three pillars of healthcare.
? On a general note, mHealth initiatives promise to close the information gap that currently exists for patient data in the developing world, enabling health workers to measure the effectiveness of HealthCare programs, allocate resources more efficiently, and adjust programs and policies.
? Researcher wishing to provide a patient monitoring technology that is based on SMS to complement existing eHealth systems will have something to gain also from the article.
? When the prototype system is fully deployed, it will complement the existing systems used in the domain of e-Health and enhance the quality of health care services provided by both the private and public hospitals in the country.
? It provided an overview of the most pressing security issues in healthcare and how to adopt healthy cyberhygiene habits in the server room.
? It is imperative that these organizations keep up with new technology and threats, and certain organizations are dedicated to the issue of risk management.
? This problem was fixed and the system was tested again to verify the change.
? The system provided will no doubt help to address the millennium development goals that bother on health care delivery and also help in addressing the problems of HIV/AIDS and other prevalent diseases associated with people living in developing countries.
• In this paper, a system to monitor heartrate and body temperature of a user and alert the user when these values are abnormal is proposed.
• The proposed systems in the literature were tested and performed well.
• Many different systems and devices have been proposed to enable monitoring of these vital signs to ensure timely healthcare is provided to a patient.
• In this paper, a Patient Medical Emergency Alert System (PMEAS) has been presented.
• The most important feature and main purpose of the android application is to serve as a platform to be used to send alert messages.
? This support system aims at improving patient safety and efficiency in care delivery.
? A doctor may want to confirm the presence or absence of diseases by requesting that a patient undergoes a test.
? There have been a number of mHealth initiatives in public health being piloted and used from one country to another.
? An incremental approach to software development is used for the development of the system.
? The MO is used for sending SMS and MT is for receiving SMS.
? The use of wireless technology for health care delivery is having great impacts in the health care sector on a global scale.
