Abstract :
Health care industries are adopting Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system from paper based records. With EMR, health services can be provided at accelerated rate but privacy, security and storage of information will be of concern. There are different regulations for the use and disclosure of health information. In this research study, we focus on Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and discuss how it protects health information of an individual while allowing the flow of information to carry out necessary health care functions. The web based EMR system is proposed based on security and privacy features defined by HIPAA.
