MediLocker: Centralized Electronic Health Records System

The transition from traditional paper-based patient records to advanced digital formats has not been without its challenges. While Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer instantaneous access to detailed patient health information, there are drawbacks too. One significant drawback that was identified from the literature survey was the lack of interoperability and uniformity in patients' medical information across different healthcare facilities. This fragmentation hampers communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, leading to inefficiencies and gaps in patient care. Additionally, concerns about the security and privacy of patient data in EHRs persist, with instances of data breaches and unauthorized access raising alarm within the healthcare community. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes the development of a secure, privacy-ensuring Medilocker system aimed at investigating electronic health management systems comprehensively by assessing the status of EHR systems and efficiently managing electronic health records while safeguarding patient data. The implementation of role-based access control, coupled with data anonymization for preserving confidentiality, results in the development of a cohesive solution that facilitates the systemization, integration, and fortification of the healthcare system, while ensuring prompt access to information in compliance with privacy and security standards.
