Securing Electronic Healthcare Records in Web Applications

In such an unfortunate situation of a medicalemergency, a lot of people tend to lose their lives which can be aresult of misplaced/delayed paperwork. Thus it is essential to havethe patient’s medical record history before going into majorsurgery and it is often unavailable at the required time due to thechain of communication between different hospitals. As a possiblesolution to this problem we propose a central chain of all medicalrecords of a patients in an electronic format. The electronic healthrecords (EHRs) are patient-centered, real-time records that makeinformation available to authorized users and help doctorsdiagnose cases more quickly, reduce medical errors, and deliversafer care. EHRs improve the communication gap and make theprocess of getting medical attention quicker. Our methodologyincludes an easy to use 2 module approach (doctor portal andpatient portal) with multiple sub modules all linked to a commondatabase. We create a secure and centralized database for EHRswith an easy approach and manageable methodology. Security isimportant in our use case and we thus include- Secureauthentication (and verification of doctor’s ID while creating anew account) , two factor authentication and OTP verificationwhile accessing patient reports. We are using block chain forsafely storing multiple patient records for maintaining a safestorage of multiple records. The doctors will be able to access thepatients with few clicks and verification and understand thepatient background. This will majorly help in maintainingrecords, accessing prescription and getting an overview of thepatient's medical history while saving a lot of manual paper work.
