Towards Electronic Prescription System in a Developing Country

Abstract

We proposed an architecture for a national electronic prescription system. This work is based on the HL7 CDA standard to represent the prescription, the ABE encryption to encrypt data, the private cloud as a storage solution, and the ABAC model to control access to the system. The proposed system is an adequate solution to solve some common medical errors in developing countries such as Algeria due to paper prescriptions. Our solution allows the integrity and confidentiality of medical prescriptions and offers sufficient flexibility and interoperability level.
