The pre-existing medical treatment was done in person between doctors and patients. EMR (Electronic Medical Record) System computerizing medical history of patients has been proceed and has raised concerns in terms of violation of human right for private information. Which integrates "Identification information" containing patients' personal details as well as "Medical records" such as the medical history of patients and computerizes all the records processed in hospital. Therefore, all medical information should be protected from misuse and abuse since it is very important for every patient. Particularly the right to privacy of medical record for each patient should be surely secured. Medical record means what doctors put down during the medical examination of patients. In this paper, we applies fingerprint identification to EMR system login to raise the quality of personal identification when user access to EMR System. The system implemented in this paper consists of embedded module to carry out fingerprint identification, web server and web site. Existing carries out it in client. And the confidence of hospital service is improved because login is forbidden without fingerprint identification success.

Medical information is an important personal information for patients, and it must be protected. In particular, when medical personnel approach electronic medical records, authentication for enhanced security is essential. However, the existing public certificate-based certification model did not reflect the security characteristics of the electronic medical record(EMR) due to problems such as personal key management and authority delegation. In this study, we propose a fingerprint recognition-based authentication model with enhanced security to solve problems in the approach of the existing electronic medical record system. The proposed authentication model is an EMR system based on fingerprint recognition using PEMS (Private-key Escrow Management Server), which is applied with the private key commission protocol and the private key withdrawal protocol, enabling the problem of personal key management and authority delegation to be resolved at source. The performance experiment of the proposed certification model confirmed that the performance time was improved compared to the existing public certificate-based authentication, and the user's convenience was increased by recognizing fingerprints by replacing the electronic signature password.

The existing EMR method placing computer servers in hospitals could expose patients' personal information to hospital officers and people for wrong purposes. In addition, if medical malpractice occurs, the possibility of distorting medical records might be higher because patients' medical records are stored in hospitals. This study provides an electronic medical record with a security system to solve patients' information disclosure. The electronic medical record system could be utilized as an important information when medical malpractice occurs. This system can provide higher security services certifying patients safely and efficiently as well as protecting patients' personal information.

Ensuring the security of medical records is becoming an increasingly important problem as modern technology is integrated into existing medical services. As a consequence of the adoption of EMR(Electronic Medical Records) in the health care sector, it is becoming more and more common for a health professional to edit and view a patient's record. In order to protect the patient's privacy, a secure authentication model to access the electronic medical records system must be used. A traditional identity based digital certificate for the authenticity of EMR has private key management and key escrow of a user's private key. In order to protect the EMR, The traditional authentication system is based on the digital certificate. The identity based digital certificate has many disadvantages, for example, the private key can be forgotten or stolen, and can be easily escrow of the private key. Nowadays, authentication model using fingerprint recognition technology for EMR has become more prevalent because of the advantages over digital certificate -based authentication model. Because identity-based fingerprint recognition can eliminate disadvantages of identity-based digital certificate, the proposed authentication model provide high security for access control in EMR.

In highly developed society, information and communication technologies are widely used for better medical services. These information and communication technologies should be more and more acceptable in all hospitals for exchange medical records. EMR becomes more convenient than the previously used paper charts. It will be able to record medical institutions every time and dual treatment. Each is different specifications for each medical institution to use the program or document to exchange it. The personal clinic records still does not exchange well. To solve this gap between medical alienation, this paper describes the concepts of HL7-CDA and proposes types of telemedicine system. To resolve time and space constraints, new form of treatment methods presents in future directions after described about related systems. CDA enables electronic medical records to the each medical center and gradually expanded by exchanging the patient's medical records. This paper is using XML-based CDA documents as a hierarchical for medical information exchange standards compliant HL7-CDA documents. It could be possible currently used structural variety of multimedia data. Thus It is able to send and receive HL7-CDA-based medical information and clinical information to identify the medical institutions of medical information with interchange system design and building standards, and through mutual exchange of clinical information.

Mobile Crowd Computing is one of the most efficient and effective way to collect the Electronic health records and they are very intelligent in processing them. Mobile Crowd Computing can handle, analyze and process the huge volumes of Electronic Health Records (EHR) from the high-performance Cloud Environment. Electronic Health Records are very sensitive, so they need to be secured, authenticated and processed efficiently. However, security, privacy and authentication of Electronic health records(EHR) and Patient health records(PHR) in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment have become a critical issue that restricts many healthcare services from using Crowd Computing services .Our proposed Efficient Multi-layer Encryption Framework(MLEF) applies a set of multiple security Algorithms to provide access control over integrity, confidentiality, privacy and authentication with cost efficient to the Electronic health records(HER)and Patient health records(PHR). Our system provides the efficient way to create an environment that is capable of capturing, storing, searching, sharing, analyzing and authenticating electronic healthcare records efficiently to provide right intervention to the right patient at the right time in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment.

By using the U-Healthcare environment, it is possible to receive the health care services anywhere anytime. However, since the user's personal information can be easily exposed in the U-Healthcare environment, it is necessary to strengthen the security system. This thesis proposes the technique which can be used to protect the personal medical records at hospital safely, in order to avoid the exposure of the user's personal information which can occur due to the frequent usage of the electronic chart according to the computerization process of medical records. In the proposed system, the following two strategies are used: i) In order to reduce the amount of the system load, it is necessary to apply the partial encryption process for electronic charts. ii) Regarding the user's authentication process for each patient, the authentication number for each electronic chart, which is in the encrypted form, is transmitted through the patient's mobile device by the National Health Insurance Corporation, when the patient register his or her application at hospital. Regarding the modern health care services, it is important to protect the user's personal information. The proposed technique will be an important method of protecting the user's information.

Most of the terminologies used in medical domain is not intended to be applied directly in clinical setting but is developed to integrate the terms by defining the reference terminology or concept relations between the terms. Therefore, it is needed to develop the subsets of the terminology which classify categories properly for the purpose of use and extract and organize terms with high utility based on the classified categories in order to utilize the clinical terms conveniently as well as efficiently. Moreover, it is also necessary to develop and upgrade the terminology constantly to meet user's new demand by changing or correcting the system. This study has developed a mapping tool that allows accurate expression and interpretation of clinical terms used for medical records in electronic medical records system and can furthermore secure semantic interoperability among the terms used in the medical information model and generate common terms as well. The system is designed to execute both 1:1 and N:M mapping between the concepts of terms at a time and search for and compare various terms at a time, too. Also, in order to enhance work consistency and work reliability between the task performers, it allows work in parallel and the observation of work processes. Since it is developed with Java, it adds new terms in the form of plug-in to be used. It also reinforce database access security with Remote Method Invocation (RMI). This research still has tasks to be done such as complementing and refining and also establishing management procedures for registered data. However, it will be effectively used to reduce the time and expenses to generate terms in each of the medical institutions and improve the quality of medicine by providing consistent concepts and representative terms for the terminologies used for medical records and inducing proper selection of the terms according to their meaning.

Since the year 2000, lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death in South Korea as in many other parts of the world. The current multidisciplinary approach for lung cancer includes a wide range of modalities, not only surgery, radiotherapy, medical drug therapy but also pain control, as well as social and psychological support. Therefore, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, anesthetists, psychologist, nurses and social workers as well as medical doctors care for lung cancer patients. Sharing a common treatment protocol and optimal communication are vital aspects of shared care both from a medical and cost-effectiveness point of view. We developed a shared electronic medical record (SEMR) for treating patients with lung cancer in a university hospital to facilitate the sharing protocols and communications between doctors involved in a lung cancer clinic. A SEMR system was developed within a order communication system(OCS) for a lung cancer clinic. The records of radiological, laboratory and pathological studies as well as the records of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were stored and presented to all doctors who treat the same patient. Every doctor was allowed to change his/her own records. They could review other doctor s records but could not alter them. With the SEMR, it was expected that the time to complete the medical records for one patient could be reduced because it was easy to review all the data from the other doctors who share the same patient. In addition, the confidence of the doctors who share a common treatment protocol would be higher. Therefore, a shared electronic medical record is expected to improve the quality of patient care.

Purpose: This study was done to analyse nursing records to identify the nature of pain and actual conditions of pain management in patients hospitalized in one university hospital. Methods: The participants in this study were 783 patients with a length of stay of 3 to 30 days who were discharged from medical wards between June 1 and June 30, 2009. Data on nursing records related to pain management from these patients were reviewed using the Electronic Nursing Records (ENRs) system. Results: Over 30 percent of 10,702 nursing records related to pain assessment had no record on region, severity, nature or frequency of pain. About 30 percent of 13,638 nursing records related to pain intervention showed non-drug pain management techniques. Conclusion: Accurate and complete records on pain assessment including region, severity, nature and frequency of pain are essential to effectively manage patients' pain. Improvement in ENRs system for better assessment and management of pain is required as well as education programs on a standardized measuring tool for both nurses and patients.
