Patient portals: Anytime, anywhere

摘要

Patient portal is a secure online application which allows patients to have access to their personal health information via Internet around the clock. Patients can view their recent visit information, medications, labs and exams, doctor appointments and communicate with their healthcare providers securely. There have been numerous efforts to build effective patient portals but have not been able to address the cost, security and compliance issues to the fullest. To this effect, the goal of this research is to create a secure patient portal which provides access to patient data, implement all security measures ideal for a healthcare system and to implement OWASP top 10 security measures and industry standard encryption techniques to secure patient data.
