Cloud computing is actually one of the most popular themes of information systems research. Considering the nature of the processed information especially health care organizations need to assess and treat specific risks according to cloud computing in their information security management system. Therefore, in this paper we propose a framework that includes the most important security processes regarding cloud computing in the health care sector. Starting with a framework of general information security management processes derived from standards of the ISO 27000 family the most important information security processes for health care organizations using cloud computing will be identified considering the main risks regarding cloud computing and the type of information processed. The identified processes will help a health care organization using cloud computing to focus on the most important ISMS processes and establish and operate them at an appropriate level of maturity considering limited resources.

There is ever-increasing activity in applying information technology to various areas of healthcare, including mental health. Examples of innovations include applications in screening, treatment, clinical decision support, communication and coordination, telemedicine, Internet-based education and services, public health research, training and education, and bioinformatics. Issues and challenges include protection of privacy, managing narrative free text, assessing the reliability of information found online, and mitigating impact on clinical workflow. While many of the innovations described will not be fully realized until national information systems reach a larger scale, many are having a positive impact on mental healthcare today.Declaration of Interest: None.

“…Given the time critical nature of health care interventions, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in medical applications must have well-defined reliability and trustworthiness metrics. The issues regarding the laws and policies surrounding privacy of health care information has been discussed in detail in [3]. The main focus of the research presented in this paper is to develop tools to defend the health care system against malicious intrusions, such as the insertion of malicious data, which would result in compromising the integrity of the entire system and the privacy of its users.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) for health care systems are used to transmit large amount of data collected from several physiological and environmental sensors. Because the information regarding the health of an individual is highly sensitive, it must be kept private and secure. It is of paramount importance to defend the network against any illegal access, as well as malicious insertion of data that would alter the integrity of the entire system. In this paper, we propose solutions to ensure robustness, integrity, and privacy of sensor networks in health care systems. In addition, we define new metrics for determining the integrity of the sensory data. These metrics are defined based on specific characteristics of the health care systems.
