The aim of this paper is to explore the various opportunities to create affordable, efficient, and effective security protocols for electronic health records (EHRs). The increased adoption of EHR systems offers many advantages for health organizations and patients. These potential benefits are tempered by anxiety over various security and privacy issues. The privacy of sensitive health information is a key issue for patients and their willingness to adopt EHRs [1]. The very future of EHR success may depend on the public's sense of security. There are many standards and best practice documents available for EHR security guidelines, but many organizations have found them to be too numerous, too complex, and not directly actionable. Our goal is to address a security protocol in terms of an ontology of directly actionable security processes that will protect the most sensitive EHR information. These processes would be used to automatically monitor the flow of patient information and detect any violations of privacy policies. This detection will immediately trigger a corrective action to resolve the policy violation [1,2]. The need for directly actionable security processes signifies that we will use EHR system data as a basis to force changes in behaviors that directly affect the security of patient information. We will avoid creating security policies that are broad, too abstract, or not directly enforceable within an EHR system. Primarily, our work targets the security of patient information that is mental health or behavior related; implication of released information could be detrimental for future employment or insurance opportunities. This area of security has received little attention in comparison to the security of general patient information.
