“…A few potential publications [12]- [14] that is consistent with the scope of this research where; (1) ISDT artefacts are in the most meaningful and comprehensive with in mind of the author commitment towards the knowledge of ISDT and (2) traceability between MR and MD are being define by their respective author. Appendix 2 (which will be published in a separate article) listed the details of the existing publication with publication [15]- [18] show great commitment by the main author towards the knowledge of ISDT.…”

The role of Information System Design Theory in software development is enormous. With the help of design theory, developers could estimate how the system will be and the reasons why the system reacts that way. The focus of the article is to revised and re-establish the design theory of a self-service university management system. The objectives of this publication are to identify the most relevant publication that will act as a guideline to generate the design theory artifacts and to establish the artifacts which will consist of three components named kernel theory, meta-requirements, and meta-design for the stated system. The system scope will be focused on enabling self-service functions. Validation will be done through FEDS framework with the inclusion of a traceability matrix between the meta-requirement against the real-world user requirement. The significance of this article is to provide an initial set of design theory artifacts to be utilized by software developers in the development or evaluation of a University Management System.

“…A group of authorized users, according to an access list, can access the ciphertext of the medical records using the re-encryption keys, which are granted and revoked by the data owner. OSHealthRec, which is a blockchain-based prototype by Meier et al [ 45 ], also offers fine-grained access control that enhances data privacy and security. Data owners can revoke access authorization at any time or grant one-time access only.…”

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are the healthcare sector’s core digital strategy meant to improve the quality of care provided to patients. Despite the benefits afforded by this digital transformation initiative, adoption among healthcare organizations has been slower than desired. The sheer volume and sensitive nature of patient records compel these organizations to exercise a healthy amount of caution in implementing EHR. Cyberattacks have also increased the risks associated with non-optimal EHR implementations. An influx of high-profile data breaches has plagued the sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, which put the spotlight on EHR cybersecurity. One objective of this research project is to aid the acceleration of EHR adoption. Another objective is to ensure the robustness of the system to resist malicious attacks. For the former, a systematic review was used to unearth all the possible causes why the adoption of EHR has been anemic. In this paper, sixty-five existing proposed EHR solutions were analyzed and it was found that there are fourteen major challenges that need to be addressed to reduce friction and risk for health organizations. These were privacy, security, confidentiality, interoperability, access control, scalability, authentication, accessibility, availability, data storage, data ownership, data validity, data integrity, and ease of use. We propose EHRChain, a new framework that tackles all the listed challenges simultaneously to address the first objective while also being designed to achieve the second objective. It is enabled by dual-blockchains based on Hyperledger Sawtooth to allow patient data decentralization via a consortium blockchain and IPFS for distributed data storage.

“…Among the rest of the papers, authors in [68] described about the standard of ISO 18308: 2011, HL7 and HIPAA, but did not implement those principles. Finally, researchers in [69] followed the openEHR standard. By contrast, the remaining papers did not follow or describe the EHRs standards.…”

Blockchain-Based Electronic Health Records Management: A Comprehensive Review and Future Research Direction

Blockchain is the revolutionary invention of the twentieth century that offers a distributed and decentralized setting to communicate among nodes in a list of networks without a central authority. On the other hand, an electronic health records (EHRs) is the electronically stored health information in a digital format.EHRs are normally shared among healthcare stakeholders and facing power failure, data misuse, lack of privacy and security, and audit trail. Blockchain is a leading technology among others to address the limitations related to EHRs. It can provide a safer and secured decentralized environment for exchanging EHRs data. There are three categories of blockchain-based potential solutions have been proposed to handle EHRs: conceptual, prototype, and implemented. This study focused on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to find and analyze articles proposed either conceptual or implemented to manage EHRs using blockchain. The study analyzed 99 papers that were described from various publication categories. The deep technical analysis focused on evaluating articles based on privacy, security, scalability, accessibility, cost, consensus algorithms, and type of blockchain used. The SLR found that the blockchain technology is promising to provide decentralization, security, and privacy that traditional EHRs often lack. Moreover, results obtained from the detailed studies would provide potential researchers with a reference as to which type of blockchain to choose for future development. Finally, future research directions, in the end, would direct enthusiasm to combine new blockchain-based systems to properly manage EHRs.
