Design and Implementation of Secured Electronic Health System Using Pin and Barcode Technology

Iherinwa Juliet Nkechi, C. C. Olebara, Ibebuogu C. C.

Abstract

The healthcare sector increasingly relies on electronic systems to manage patient information, improve service delivery, and enhance operational efficiency. However, the digitization of medical records has introduced significant security and privacy concerns, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and identity misuse. The aim of this study is to design and implement a secured electronic health system using Personal Identification Number and barcode technology. This work was motivated on the basis of finding a solution to the security concerns of patients about their Electronic Health Records . The replacement of paper processes in our hospitals with Electronic Medical Record system has neither ended the problem of continued manual and repeated processes in gathering health history of patients, nor the security problem with the patients’ health information, hence, the need for the research. The methodology used is the Object- Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology . The expected result of this new system is a two-level authentication security technique, as the hybrid model that will solve the bottlenecks identified in this work. Some of the hardware, programming and scripting languages, and application packages that were used for the development of this hybrid software are barcode reader, php, java scripts, CSS, ajax, and Adobe Photoshop - CS6. Also, MySqlLite is used as the database system for the program too, given its robustness. Therefore, with the aid of this research, patient’s health data can now move with him through this new system, “Design and Implementation Secured Electronic Health system Using Pin and Barcode Technology”, thereby eliminating repeated antiquated processes and interoperability issues.
