Summary
This study reviews legal aspects of health cloud computing, identifying key factors for a legal framework. A proposed framework covers compliance, data protection, ICAM, ownership, and quality of service.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Cloud Computing Law
- Information Security
Background:
- Cloud computing presents complex challenges, particularly when intersecting with healthcare.
- Issues of information security, privacy, and legal considerations are amplified in health cloud environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a systematic literature review on the legal aspects of health cloud computing.
- To identify and propose a framework for the legal aspects of health cloud environments.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of English papers from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Digital Library.
- Selection of 1582 relevant papers based on predefined search strings.
- Mapping selected papers to a proposed legal framework with five main categories.
Main Results:
- A legal framework for health cloud was designed, encompassing compliance, data protection, Identity Credential Access Management (ICAM), ownership, and quality of service.
- Of the 22 papers analyzed, significant focus was found on compliance (19 papers), data protection (18 papers), and ICAM (14 papers).
- Data ownership and quality of service were addressed in 15 papers each, with many studies focusing on only a subset of these issues.
Conclusions:
- The study identified critical factors for establishing a health cloud legal framework.
- The proposed framework provides a structured approach to addressing the multifaceted legal challenges in health cloud computing.
- Further research may be needed to develop comprehensive solutions covering all identified legal aspects.
