A universal identification code for e-health services

Health is one of the major challenges facing governments today. Health needs have evolved. It is not only a matter of providing care to sick people, but rather of ensuring the wellness of the population through a good tracking of each patient, adapted prevention programs and decision-making tools facilitating to the doctor the diagnosis of the diseases and the prescription of the treatments. It is in this context that ICTs intervene through the process of dematerialization of procedures and transactions related to the field of health. Hence our contribution, which consists in proposing an e-health platform based essentially on the electronic health record and a structured, hierarchical and universal model of identification that uniquely identifies each stakeholder (patient and healthcare professional) while protecting personal data against manipulation, access or disclosure without the approval of their owner.
