A review of recent advances in Privacy preservation in health care data publishing

Abstract

Nowadays, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) sharing is extremely helpful for medical data analysis while preservation of patients' privacy plays a major role.  Several methods have been proposed to preserve privacy during data publishing without more utility loss. This paper reviews the current literature on privacy preserving health care data publishing. It mainly focuses on the recently (2009-2016) proposed methods based on anonymization and encryption, and their limitations to the privacy attacks. We also conclude this review with some future research direction in this field.
