Adaptive Content-Aware Access Control of EPR Resource in a Healthcare System

In this modern era of the digital world, the patient's medical records are electronically maintained and updated for the maintenance of the good health. The electronically stored patients' health status is termed as the Electronic Patient Record (EPR). The EPR service includes the accessing, storage, and maintenance by the authenticated users. However, in the emergency situation, the EPR can be required by the unauthenticated users/physician. In these situations, the primary challenge is to prove the identity of an unknown physician/user. In these cases, there is a need for an adaptive security mechanism, where the adaptive mechanism includes intelligence to identify the emergency situation and adapt subsequently. In the health care, the privacy, integrity and access control over the generated data places an important role. To address these issues in this paper, we use a structural design that involves procedure based and distributed management in conviction to afford an elastic method to access the electronically stored records depending on the users' digital identification.
