Conference Paper
Abstract
We present an architecture for the secure circulation of electronic medical records. The architecture considers two issues prevalent in e-health - inter-operability and secure and privacy - and is designed for inter-organisational information flow. We focus our attention on the protection of patient privacy and discuss how privacy policies are applied and enforced on medical records. A key feature of the architecture is that privacy policies are not assumed to be complete. For cases where policies do not contain sufficient information to make a privacy-related decision, we show how a simple reasoning scheme can be used based on the "need to know" principle.
