Producing applications that conform to the requirements of the Health Level 7 (HL7) framework is beneficial for the accurate recordation, transmittal and sharing of medical information across organizations. Conformance to these requirements ultimately help to improve the quality of health services delivered to consumers. This paper describes Everest, a free and open source framework that allows developers to create and test HL7v3 applications.
Insider threads posed by authorized users have caused significant security and privacy risks to IT systems. The behavior of authorized users in using system services must be monitored and controlled. However, the administrators in large distributed systems are overwhelmed by the number of system users, the complexity and changing nature of user activities. This paper presents a new generation of intelligent decision support systems that effectively assist system administrators to get deep insight into the system users’ dynamic behavior patterns. With these patterns, the system administrators are capable of constructing dynamic refinement to the existing security policies. We explore the method of interactively and incrementally extracting user’s behavior patterns by combining data mining techniques with domain and system knowledge, and applying such knowledge to provide recommendations throughout the whole process. A prototype tool has been developed to analyze the audit logs from distributed medical imaging systems to validate the proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
