There is a growing voice that medical information should be shared because it can prepare for genetic diseases or cancer by analyzing and utilizing medical information in big data or artificial intelligence to develop medical technology and improve patient care. The utilization and protection of patients' personal information are the same as two sides of the same coin. Medical institutions or medical personnel should take extra caution in handling personal information with high environmental distinct characteristics and sensitivity, which is different from general information processors. In general, the patient's personal information is processed by medical personnel or medical institutions through the processes of collection, creation, and destruction. Still, the use of terms related to personal information in the Medical Service Act is jumbled, or the scope of application is unclear, so it relies on the interpretation of precedents. For the medical personnel or the founder of the medical institution, in the case of infringement of Article 24(4), it cannot be regarded that it means only medical treatment information among personal information, whether or not it should be treated the same as the personal information under Article 23, because the sensitive information of patients is recorded, saved, and stored in electronic medical records. Although the prohibition of information leakage under Article 19 of the Medical Service Act has a revision; 'secret' that was learned in business was revised to 'information', but only the name was changed, and the benefit and protection of the law is the same as the 'secret' of the criminal law, such that the patient's right to self-determination of personal information is not protected. The Privacy Law and the Local Health Act consider the benefit and protection of the law in 'information learned in business' as the right to self-determination of personal information and stipulate the same penalties for personal information infringement such as leakage, forgery, alteration, and damage. The privacy regulations of the Medical Service Act require that the terms be adjusted uniformly because the jumbled use of terms can confuse information subjects, information processors, and shows certain limitations on the protection of personal information because the contents or scope of the regulations of the Medical Service Law for special corporations and the Privacy Law may cause confusion in interpretation. The patient's personal information is sensitive and must be safely protected in its use and processing. Personal information must be processed in accordance with the protection principle of Privacy Law, and the rights such as privacy, freedom, personal rights, and the right to self-determination of personal information of patients or guardians, the information subject, must be guaranteed.

Precision Medicine, which utilizes personal health information, genetic information, clinical information, etc., is growing as the next-generation medical industry. In Korea, medical institutions and information communication companies have coll aborated to provide cloud-based Precision Medicine Hospital Information Systems (P-HIS) to about 90 primary medical ins titutions over the past five years, and plan to continue promoting and expanding it to primary and secondary medical insti tutions for the next four years. Precision medicine is directly related to human health and life, making information protecti on and healthcare information protection very important. Therefore, this paper analyzes the preliminary research on inform ation protection models that can be utilized in cloud-based Precision Medicine Hospital Information Systems and ultimately proposes research on ways to improve information protection in P-HIS.

Due to the development of Internet and the collection and usage of the individual information, the infringements of the personal data have been increased rapidly. Regarding the personal data protection in the medical industry, it is clearly described in 'Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and information Protection, etc.'. the law is ratified on the basis of the service provider, therefore, it has its own limitation to be applied to medical industry. Therefore, this paper is to set the security standard and to discuss the range of legal application and considerations on its basis for the domestic medical institution at the electronic medical record system. We exemplify specific applicable content of the electronic signature in the electronic medical record also, present a security assessment item in electronic medical system and set the criteria for the security standard in the medical industry.

Rapid developments of IT technology has been creating new security threats. There have been more attacks to get patients' sensitive personal information, targeting medical institutions that are relatively insufficient to prevent and defend against such attacks. Although the government has required senior general hospitals to get the ISMS certification since 2016, such a requirement has been burdensome for small and medium-sized medical institutions. Therefore, this study was designed to draw measures to identify and improve the privacy status of the medical institution by dividing it into management, physical and cyber areas for small and medium-sized medical institutions. The results of this study showed that the government should provide financial support and managerial supervision for the improvement of personal information protection of small and medium-sized medical institutions. They also suggested that the government should also provide medical security specialists, continuous medical security education, disaster planning, reduction of medical information management regulations not suitable for small and medium sized institutions.

In this study, we investigated how to protect personal healthcare information when constructing OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership) CDM (Common Data Model). There are two proposed methods; to restrict data corresponding to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) PHI (Protected Health Information) to be extracted to CDM or to disable identification of it. While processing sensitive information is restricted by Korean Personal Information Protection Act and medical law, there is no clear regulation about what is regarded as sensitive information. Therefore, it was difficult to select the sensitive information for protecting personal healthcare information. In order to solve this problem, we defined HIPAA PHI as restriction criterion of Article 23 of the Personal Information Protection Act and maps data corresponding to CDM data. Through this study, we expected that it will contribute to the spread of CDM construction in Korea as providing solutions to the problem of protection of personal healthcare information generated during CDM construction.
