Proposed Privacy Patterns For Privacy Preserving Healthcare Systems In Accord With Nova Scotia'S Personal Health Information Act

We propose privacy design patterns in the context of healthcare systems. These patterns are designed to support the Privacy-By-Design concept through the software lifecycle, focusing on the early design phase and mitigating privacy risks. As a departure point, we used Personal Health Information Act (PHIA) in Nova Scotia to derive the following five proposed privacy patterns: 1-request an access 2-request a correction 3-requestnot to disclose Personal Health Information 4-being notified if the PHI is lost, stolen or subject to unauthorized access 5-request a review. The patterns provide a guide to designers and developers in designing privacy-preserving systems in healthcare.
