Abstract

Advancement in the field of internet or communication technology has provided new ways to store, access and distribute data in digital format. But these advancements have also introduced new challenges to protect information circulating over networks. One of them is to avoid the risks for inappropriate use of medical information circulating over networks. Even though most of the medical providers are honest there are few who illegally increase the size of their bank accounts through fraudulent claims. On medical basis has been reported worldwide, presenting the agencies with fake data of medical reports. Fraudulent claim includes; Medical identity theft, Billing for services not rendered, up coding of services, up coding of items, unbundling or unnecessary services, kickbacks, beneficiary fraud and duplicate claims. Therefore there is a need of “A systematic development of multiple watermarking schemes and their complete assessment through defining the parameter property such that they can offer a better complementary solution for achieving improved security”. In the present work, a hybrid watermarking system is proposed so as to provide authorization, authenticity, availability, confidentiality, data integrity, reliability, and reversibility of the patient’s information in the healthcare systems.
