Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics Vol. 9, No. 2, April 2020, pp. 565~572 ISSN: 2302-9285, DOI: 10.11591/eei.v9i2.2064 565 Security issues and framework of electronic medical record: A review Jibril Adamu, Raseeda Hamzah, Marshima Mohd Rosli Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia Article Info ABSTRACT Article history: The electronic medical record has been more widely accepted due to its unarguable benefits when compared to a paper-based system. As electronic Received Oct 30, 2019 medical record becomes more popular, this raises many security threats Revised Dec 28, 2019 against the systems. Common security vulnerabilities, such as weak Accepted Feb 11, 2020 authentication, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery had been identified in the electronic medical record systems. To achieve the goals of using EMR, attaining security and privacy Keywords: is extremely important. This study aims to propose a web framework with inbuilt security features that will prevent the common security vulnerabilities CodeIgniter security in the electronic medical record. The security features of the three most CSRF popular and powerful PHP frameworks Laravel, CodeIgniter, and Symfony EMR security issues were reviewed and compared. Based on the results, Laravel is equipped with Laravel security the security features that electronic medical record currently required. SQL injection This paper provides descriptions of the proposed conceptual framework that Symfony security can be adapted to implement secure EMR systems.
