Paper-based privacy policies fail to resolve the new changes posed by electronic healthcare. Protecting patient privacy through electronic systems has become a serious concern and is the subject of several recent studies. The shift towards an electronic privacy policy introduces new ethical challenges that cannot be solved merely by technical measures. Structured Patient Privacy Policy (S3P) is a software tool assuming an automated electronic privacy policy in an electronic healthcare setting. It is designed to simulate different access levels and rights of various professionals involved in healthcare in order to assess the emerging ethical problems. The authors discuss ethical issues concerning electronic patient privacy policies that have become apparent during the development and application of S3P.

A cross-sectional investigation of acceptance of health information technology: A nationwide survey of community pharmacists in Turkey Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2016-11-01) Background: Health information technologies have become vital to health care services. In that regard, successful use of information technologies in pharmaceutical services is important to manage, control and maintain pharmaceutical transactions, which increase the quality of health care delivery.
A Data Transformation Methodology to Create Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable Health Data: Software Design, Development, and Evaluation Study Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Gencturk, Mert; Teoman, Huseyin Alper; Laleci Erturkmen, Gokce Banu; Alvarez-Romero, Celia; Martinez-Garcia, Alicia; Poblador-Plou, Beatriz; Carmona-Pírez, Jonás; Löbe, Matthias; Parra-Calderon, Carlos Luis (2023-03-08) BACKGROUND: Sharing health data is challenging because of several technical, ethical, and regulatory issues. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) guiding principles have been conceptualized to enable data interoperability. Many studies provide implementation guidelines, assessment metrics, and software to achieve FAIR-compliant data, especially for health data sets. Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a health data content modeling and exchange s...
A Systematic Literature Review on Health Recommender Systems Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-11-23) Health Information Systems are becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, Health Recommender Systems (HRS) are presented as complementary tools in decision making processes in health care services. Health Recommender Systems increase usability of technologies and reduce information overload in processes. In this paper, a literature review was conducted by following a review procedure. Major approaches in HRS were outlined and findings were discussed. The paper presented current...
An XACML based framework for structured patient privacy policy (s3p) Mizani, Mehrdad Alizadeh; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Medical Informatics (2006) The emergence of electronic healthcare have caused numerous changes in both substantive and procedural aspects of healthcare processes. Such changes have introduced new risks to patient privacy and information confidentiality. Traditional privacy policies fall too short to respond to privacy needs of patients in electronic healthcare. Structured and enforceable policies are needed in order to protect patient privacy in modern healthcare with its cross organizational information sharing and decision making. ...
A federated semantic metadata registry framework for enabling interoperability across clinical research and care domains Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Erturkmen, Gokce B. Laleci (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) In order to enable secondary use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) by bridging the interoperability gap between clinical care and research domains, in this paper, a unified methodology and the supporting framework is introduced which brings together the power of metadata registries (MDR) and semantic web technologies. We introduce a federated semantic metadata registry framework by extending the ISO/IEC 11179 standard, and enable integration of data element registries through Linked Open Data (LOD) princi...
