Abstract

Although safeguarding electronic health records (EHRs) is crucial, there has yet to be a thorough and exhaustive investigation into EHR protection methods specifically within the context of cloud computing and blockchain. The objective of this article is to bridge that gap by conducting a systematic review of the literature on EHR protection mechanisms in cloud and blockchain environments. The results are presented in the form of a traditional taxonomy, which identifies the most recent approaches taken to address this important issue and highlights any remaining unresolved concerns. The classification system introduced in this study is divided into four main categories: algorithms used for safeguarding electronic health records and the platforms utilized in blockchain technology, factors employed to assess the effectiveness of EHR protection, and lastly, tools implemented to ensure the security of electronic health records in cloud computing and blockchain environments. We conducted a review of scientific articles spanning from 2010 to 2022 specifically addressing the safeguarding of electronic health records in cloud computing environments. Additionally, we surveyed scientific articles from 2017 to 2023 that focused on the protection of EHRs in both cloud computing environments and blockchain technology.

In cloud computing, security of electronic health records and minimizing communication costs are critical factors in ensuring security and the timely  sharing of EHRs to potentially save a patient's life. These areas have been classified into three categories: approximate, exact, and hybrid methods. Furthermore, this article explores EHR protection measures while also taking into account the advantages and limitations of EHR protection mechanisms within networks.
