The deployment of digital technologies such as ICT and cloud computing is emerging as one of the most rapidly growing areas in healthcare today. Security concern is one of the main challenges that deter many healthcare providers in the fast adoption of cloud computing technology in providing reliable and efficient healthcare services to their patients. We therefore propose an Enhanced Secured Cloud based e-Health System that uses three levels of security and three levels of Authentication to ensure that only authorized users have access to the system and preserve the privacy of patients’ electronic health records stored in the Enhanced Secure Cloud Based e-Health System. These security mechanisms were integrated in the proposed system so that it can provide means of ensuring that only authorised persons have access to the Enhanced Secure Cloud Based e-Health System. It also ensures that the integrity of patients’ health records stored in the e-Health System is not compromised.References
