Abstract
The electronic medical record can bring patients’ convenience of data distribution, and even promote the quality and efficiency of medical service and health care. Unless the transmission, preservation and usage of information is well-controlled, however, the patient’s privacy would be damaged more seriously than written by hand traditionally. This research introduces security management by means of the technology of cryptography such as encryption, decryption, digital envelope, and digital signature, with the application of smart cards. On the one hand, it can protect the privacy of the information owner. On the other hand, it still preserves the convenience of information distribution.
This research also brings up a practical direction for the health card. The health card is not only a tool for storing medical records, but also it can develop the most suitable purpose of key pair production, private key storage, and cipher operation. Moreover, the patient will hold his own rights of medical records, and decide how his sensitive information will be presented. The research can provide a reference for the Bureau of National Health Insurance, and eliminate the doubt of some civil organizations regarding privacy exposure. We believe that people will benefit more from using health cards in the future.
