Abstract
Electronic Health Records (EHR)/Electronic Patient Records (EPR)/Electronic Medical Records (EMR) provide the basis for e-Health services. Since information in these records (containing patient healthcare information) need to be shared amongst multiple healthcare providers and healthcare professionals, privacy issues of EHR have been a major inhibitor in the implementation of EHR/EMR/EPR systems. This paper presents EHR privacy requirements in the context of two major e-Health frameworks, namely HealthLink in Australia and HIPAA in USA. The paper concludes with a discussion of some evolving Web-based solutions.Entities:
