Abstract The increased demand for data availability in every industry is driving individuals to exchange and store data on centralized platforms such as clouds so that the intended audience may access it. To facilitate data exchange and storage in the medical industry, organizations and patients are building cloud platforms. However, the most pressing issue that everyone faces is data protection and security. Here, we describe many techniques that are available to protect the system and meet the requirement for data privacy preservation in the medical industry. Some algorithms are Zero-Knowledge Proof, Principal Component Analysis and Random Projection, Generative Adversarial Networks, blockchain and cloud computing, Quasi-Identifier Recognition, Q-learning Neural Network, digital signature, and others.

Keywords Medical record, Cloud computing, blockchain, privacy-preservation, GANs, algorithm, digital signature.

I INTRODUCTION

  1. Introduction

    Electronic health records (EHRs) have transformed the way healthcare professionals manage patient data. EHRs provide an efficient and secure way to store and share patient information, enabling healthcare providers to deliver better patient care. However, the widespread use of EHRs also poses new challenges, particularly when it comes to safeguarding the confidentiality of patient information.

    In this article, we will explore the importance of confidentiality in electronic health records and the threats that EHRs face. We will also provide best practices for safeguarding the confidentiality of EHRs to ensure patient privacy is protected.

  2. The Importance of Confidentiality in Electronic Health Records

    Confidentiality is a critical component of healthcare. Patients expect that their medical information will be confidential. The unauthorized disclosure of patient information can have serious consequences, including damage to the patient's reputation, financial harm, and even physical harm. Electronic health records contain sensitive information such as patient medical history, diagnoses, medications, and lab results. It is essential to maintain the confidentiality of this information to protect patient privacy and prevent potential harm.

  3. Common Threats to Electronic Health Records Confidentiality

    hEtltepc:/t/rwowniwc.hijeearltt.ohrrgecords face several threats to their confidentiality. These include:

    Vol. 12 Issue 05, May-2023

    a) Unauthorized Access: One of the most significant threats to EHR confidentiality is unauthorized access. Healthcare providers

    must implement strict access controls in order to make that only authorized personnel can access patient information.

    1. Insider Threats: Employees with authorized access to EHRs can pose a significant threat to confidentiality. It is essential to monitor employee access to patient information to detect and prevent any unauthorized activity.

    2. Hacking: EHRs are vulnerable to hacking attacks, and cybercriminals can use stolen patient information for identity theft or other fraudulent activities.

    3. Physical Theft: Physical theft of EHRs, such as laptops or mobile devices, can also compromise patient information.

  4. Best Practices for Safeguarding Electronic Health Records Confidentiality

To protect the confidentiality of electronic health records, healthcare providers should follow best practices such as:

  1. Implementing Access Controls: Access controls should be in place to make sure that only authorized personnel can get access to patient information. This includes password protection, multi-factor authentication, and user roles and permissions.

  2. Regular Employee Training: Regular employee training should be conducted to ensure that employees are aware of the importance of EHR confidentiality and understand their role in safeguarding patient information.

  3. Regular Auditing: Regular auditing of EHR access logs monitors any unauthorized access or activity.

  4. Encryption: All patient data should be encrypted both in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access.

  5. Physical Security: Physical security measures, such as locking up laptops and mobile devices when not in use, can prevent physical theft of EHRs.

  6. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning: Healthcare providers should have a disaster recovery and business continuity master plan in place to make that patient information is not compromised at the time of a disaster.

Safeguarding the confidentiality of electronic health records is critical to protecting patient privacy and preventing potential harm. Healthcare providers must implement strict access controls, employee training, regular auditing, encryption, physical security, and disaster recovery and business continuity planning to ensure that patient information remains confidential. By following best practices for EHR confidentiality, healthcare providers can maintain patient trust and deliver better patient care.

Our work's main focus is on emphasizing the necessity for privacy-preservation methods when we transfer EHR data to the cloud. This satisfies the security, integrity, and validity requirements for confidentiality, according to the theoretical analysis of the methodologies. We discussed privacy strategies together with their benefits, drawbacks, and relevance to the taxonomy of different data kinds. Medical data manipulation requires a crucial protective method to guarantee data privacy. In general, encryption techniques are recommended to alleviate privacy concerns, but their effectiveness must be increased without compromising the secrecy of data. In order to significantly increase the level of privacy and the usefulness of, we are working to close the gap in selecting the ideal mix of privacy methods and privacy models. We anticipate improving this prototype through meticulous simulations of scalability and comparisons with various potential configurations as health data increases every year.
