Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSystem Interoperability Study for Healthcare Information System with Web ServicesJ. K. Zhang, W. Xu, D. EwinsThis paper describes the use of a new distributed middleware technology ‘Web Services’ in the proposed Healthcare Information System (HIS) to address the issue of system interoperability raised from existing Healthcare Information systems. With the development of HISs, hospitals and healthcare institutes have been building their own HISs for processing massive healthcare data, such as, systems built up for hospitals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of an Intelligent Electronic Prescription Ontology Using Open Source Tools: A Botswana Case StudyTshiamo Sigwele, Eunice Okon, Tshepiso Mokgetse, Onkemetse TshenyegoHealthcare interoperability in Botswana is hindered by fragmented information exchange across public and private providers, resulting in prescription conflicts, duplicated treatment, and delayed care. In prior work, we developed the Intelligent Electronic Prescription Ontology (IEPO), an open-source OWL 2 ontology for semantically standardized prescription data exchange. Although IEPO was previously validated using competency question-driven metrics (recall, precision, and F1-score), those … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2026 · 500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPatient Data Integration: A Panacea for Effective HealthcareHenry Anayo Okemiri, Alo Uzoma Rita, Achi Ifeany Isaiah et al.A huge challenge in the healthcare domain has remained the spread and proliferation of fragmented information systems and multiplicity of data that accumulate from growing quantities of heterogeneous data of patient. This challenge must be addressed as the whole domain gradually transforms into models of delivery of healthcare that is electronic and patient-centered. The presence of inadequate data integration at … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2020 · 7,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBlockchain-Enabled Privacy-Preserving Access Control for Electronic Health Records Using Smart ContractsG. Bhanu Prasad, M. Venkateswara RaoElectronic medical records are crucial for providing high-quality healthcare, but they also raise serious privacy and security issues. Traditional centralised storage systems are vulnerable to manipulation, hacking, and illegal access. This study suggests a smart contract-based blockchain architecture that provides decentralised, unaltered, and privacy-preserving access control for EMRs. The model integrates cryptographic techniques like AES-256 encryption and SHA-256 hashing for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafeguarding Electronic Health Records: A Review of Privacy and Security in EHR WorkflowsGayathri Hegde M, P. Deepa Shenoy, Venugopal K RElectronic Health Records (EHRs) have revolutionized the healthcare industry by improving the accessibility to patient data, optimizing workflows and refining clinical decision making. The increasing use of digital records raises serious privacy and security concerns, particularly about healthcare data storage and management, access and retrieval, and sharing and interoperability. This survey paper comprehensively reviews existing privacy-preserving and security-enhancing approaches across … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 18 Dec 2025 · 2,233 accessesView PDFCite
