“…According to Rindfleish [35], in the ehealthcare context, privacy is defined as the right and desire of an individual to control the collection, use and disclosure of his or her health information while confidentiality refers to the controlled release of personal health information to a care provider or information custodian under an agreement that limits the extent and conditions under which that information may be used or released further. The confidentiality of the patient healthcare information may be broken either internally, by accidental disclosure, insider curiosity or by an insider subornation or may be broken from outside intrusion through unauthorised access [36]. Security is defined as methods such as policies, procedures or safeguards by which access to patient health information is controlled and protected from accidental or intentional disclosure to unauthorised persons, and from alteration, destruction and loss [34,35].…”

The use of ICT in healthcare, which resulted into e-healthcare, has many benefits to both individuals and governments. These benefits include reduction in medical errors, improvements in physician efficiency and an increase in the quality of care delivered. Unfortunately, there are many challenges associated with electronic healthcare adoption. In this paper we investigate the challenges associated with electronic healthcare adoption in Tanzania, and propose solutions to them. The proposed solutions will help the Tanzanian government in its design and implementation of electronic healthcare projects.

“…The PHI covers the overall history of the patient's medical conditions, treatment records along with any medically related payments. Some experts feel that cloud‐based services would primarily be challenged by its vulnerability in maintaining privacy , . So, cloud‐based PHI maintenance also offers some trade‐off between its benefits and probable loss.…”

This article studies about cloud healthcare management, where the cloud computing services seems as one of the viable options to improve the health-care services but simultaneously faces certain deterrents in the form of privacy concerns of the service users. This study aims to identify the privacy concerns, followed by analyzing the moderating effect of these concerns over the success parameters which favors the successful adoption of cloud-based healthcare services. A total of 20 success parameters and nine privacy concerns of cloud-based healthcare service users have been identified by doing a thorough literature review. The success parameters are the independent variables, privacy concerns are the moderating variables, and the factors defining success measures are the dependent variables. These three types of variables have been constituted to propose three models which identify the direct as well as the moderating effect of these privacy concerns over the critical success factors (CSFs) for the successful adoption of cloud-based healthcare services. These have been factually tested by analysis done on data collected from 105 respondents of the related domain. Structural equation modeling has been used to determine the moderating effect of the privacy concerns over the success factors. The latent variables used in the models successfully pass discriminant validity, composite reliability, multicollinearity, indicator correlation, and factor analysis test. The observed outcome demonstrates that privacy concerns of cloud-based healthcare service users are moderating the organizational and people-related success factors, whereas it does not moderate the technology-related success factors for successful adoption of cloud-based healthcare services. The privacy concerns of such service users and the CSFs (ie, organizational-, people-, technology-related success factors) directly and significantly affect the adoption rate of cloud-based healthcare services. Thus the article produces a data-based proof and statistically analyzed basis for the companies and healthcare organizations involved in the development and maintenance of cloud-based healthcare services by categorically breaking down the effect of success parameters of cloud adoption along with pointing out the concerns to be addressed to convincingly satisfy the service users.

“… Privacy: privacy is an important CC issue that could prevent the full utilization of its capabilities for different types of organizations and applications [48]. Privacy is particularly one of the main concerns in e-Health systems [49,50]. When using the Cloud for e-Health services, this concern is amplified.…”

e-Health Cloud: Opportunities and Challenges

As the costs of healthcare services rise and healthcare professionals are becoming scarce and hard to find, it is imminent that healthcare organizations consider adopting health information technology (HIT) systems. HIT allows health organizations to streamline many of their processes and provide services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. The latest technological trends such as Cloud Computing (CC) provide a strong infrastructure and offer a true enabler for HIT services over the Internet. This can be achieved on a pay-as-you-use model of the “e-Health Cloud” to help the healthcare industry cope with current and future demands yet keeping their costs to a minimum. Despite its great potential, HIT as a CC model has not been addressed extensively in the literature. There are no apparent frameworks which clearly encompass all viable schemes and interrelationships between HIT and CC. Therefore, analyzing and comparing the effectiveness of such schemes is important. In this paper we introduce the concept of “e-Health Cloud” highlighting many of its constituents and proposing building an e-health environment and elucidating many of the challenges confronting the success of the e-Health Cloud. We will also discuss different possible solutions to address challenges such as security and privacy
