Abstract

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) have become an integral part of healthcare, providing a digital representation of patient medical histories. However, the transition from paper-based to electronic records has raised concerns about the security and privacy of sensitive health data. Aim of Work: This study aims to provide valuable insights to stakeholders in the healthcare system on the need for implementing, selecting, developing, and using electronic health records that improve the privacy and security of patients. Methods: The review explores the potential of voice recognition technology in medical record documentation, examining the key security and privacy considerations surrounding electronic health records. Results: The study highlights the importance of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health data stored in electronic systems. It also discusses the impact of emerging technologies, such as cloud computing and mobile devices, on the security and privacy of electronic health records. Conclusion: Securing electronic health records is crucial to safeguarding patient privacy and maintaining trust in the healthcare system. The study emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving experts in communications, instrumentation, and computer science to facilitate the secure exchange of medical data and enhance the overall quality of healthcare services.
