dc.description.abstract | Some 20 years after they were first developed, "smart cards" are set
to play a crucial part in healthcare systems. Last year about a billion were
supplied, mainly for use in the financial sector, but their special features
make them of particular strategic importance for the health sector, where they
offer a ready made solution to some key problems of security and
confidentiality. This article outlines what smart cards are and why they are
so important in managing health information. I discuss some of the unique
features of smart cards that are of special importance in the development of
secure and trustworthy health information systems. Smart cards would enable
individuals' identities to be authenticated and communications to be secured
and would provide the mechanisms for implementing strong security,
differential access to data, and definitive audit trails. Patient cards can
also with complete security carry personal details, data on current health
problems and medications, emergency care data, and pointers to where medical
records for the patient can be found. Provider cards can in addition carry
authorisations and information on computer set up. | en |
