Abstract:
This study highlights authorization matters in cooperative engagements with complex scenarios in the collaborative healthcare domain. Focus is mainly on collaborative activities that are best accomplished by organized groups of healthcare practitioners within or among healthcare organizations with the objective of accomplishing a specific task (a case of patient treatment). In this study, an authorization schema is proposed that is suitable for collaborative healthcare systems to address the issue of information sharing and information security. The proposed scheme is based on attribute-based authentication (ABA), which is a way to authenticate users by attributes or their properties. The main goal is to provide an authorization model that strikes a balance between collaboration, flexible access to patient information and safeguarding sensitive patient information.
