Abstract
In the healthcare industry, the old paper-based record is becoming a thing of the past and more and more patient information is being transferred into the digital format, that is, Electronic Medical Record (EMR). It integrates heterogeneous information within the Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) stressing the need for augmented security, availability and access controls. We demonstrate our prototype system that incorporates the isolation and delegation components based on the real world HIS software OpenEMR. This system is targeted at enhancing the usability of contemporary HISs without degrading the system security.
