Abstract:
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) raises new challenges for security. Only authorized persons having a "right to know" can have access to identifiable patient data. Differences between the paper record and the EHR are first described. Several solutions in order to assure confidentiality, integrity and accessibility to patient information are then proposed.
