Security Challenges and Success Factors of Electronic Healthcare System

Abstract Potential benefits of the e-health system do not ignore the challenges that prevent the system from being fairly used. Security and privacy challenges of the e-health system need to be understood and resolved. The aim of this paper is to explore and analyze the current state of e-health systems security and privacy of patient records. Main focus is on security at the policy level in order to protect electronic patient record.
