Delivery of secure health care across clinical centres

Assisting medical diagnosis has been one of the main goals of Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Access to patient data is presenting itself as a challenge due to the nature of patient’s healthcare records. This requires data to be shared between a distributed set of hospitals without recourse to a centralised system, an agreed protocol. This paper describes the architecture of the HealthAgents d-DSS, the types of resources being used, and their associated access principles. To evaluate the system, the conformance to the UK Data Protection Act 1998 is clearly illustrated.
