Strategic Healthcare Advanced Research Projects for Security (SHARPS)
Carl Gunter
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

This talk will overview research on security and privacy for health information technology being carried out by a consortium of 12 computer science departments and medical schools in the U.S. The goal of the project is to make fundamental advances in security and privacy technologies in a range of healthcare environments including electronic health records within an enterprise (such as a hospital), between enterprises, between an enterprise and a patient, and in a telemedicine or mobile health context. We will look at some of the challenges in the U.S. for securing and managing privacy in these environments and speculate on their novel security and privacy technology challenges and their relevance to healthcare IT outside the U.S. and in other application domains.
