Delegated Authorization Framework for EHR Services using Attribute Based Encryption

September 5, 2021

Medical organizations find it challenging to adopt cloud-based Electronic Health Records (EHR) services due to the risk of data breaches and the resulting compromise of patient data. Existing authorization models follow a patient-centric approach for EHR management, where the responsibility of authorizing data access is handled at the patients’ end. This creates significant overhead for the patient, who must authorize every access to their health record. It is also not practical, given that multiple personnel are typically involved in providing care and that the patient may not always be in a state to provide this authorization.
