Identity Management, Access Control and Privacy in Integrated Care Platforms: The PICASO Project

The PICASO (“A Personalised Integrated Care Approach for Service Organisations and Care Models for Patients with Multi-Morbidity and Chronic Conditions”) project provides an integration platform for the cross-organizational exchange of electronic health records and care plans to facilitate the closer integration of formal and informal carers and a personalized orchestration of care services. PICASO enables the collaboration of carers across sectors encompassing the entire care continuum from the clinical setting to a patients private home. In this work we discuss how PICASO addresses the security, privacy and trust challenges of the associated cloud based health system.
