E-health architecture
The main security principles of
Estonian eHealth system – Opt Out
1. A secure authentication of all users with ID-card or Mobile ID
2. Digital signing or stamping of all medical documents
3. A maximum accountability (transparency): all actions will leave an
unchangeable (and unremovable) secure trail
4. Encrypted database that allows to remove the confidentiality risk
5. Monitoring of all actions together with the corresponding counter-
measures (both organizational and technical)

LEARNING
POINTS
Healthcare is a reactive, rather than proactive industry.
Solve one specific problem in healthcare, not ten of them.
In healthcare you need to have a business model from the start.
Healthcare is very interdependent: you have the doctor, the pharmacy,
the patient, the insurance provider, and a dozen other stakeholders that
any one service has to coordinate with.
EHR systems: more like plain than mobile phone …
FUTURE OUTLOOK

Conclusion:
• Comperhensive planning – investments, processes and standards, legislation.
• Usability – fast and simple solutions, balance between security and usability
• Implementation – central training programs
• Service update – continuous feedback
Thank you!
