Abstract

In the modern era of digital health systems, maintaining a delicate equilibrium between accessibility and 
confidentiality of electronic health records (EHRs) is paramount. This paper investigates the use of 
advancedencryption techniques to secure health records while ensuring their timely accessibility to authorized 
healthcare professionals. We review the evolution of encryption in healthcare, assess contemporary cryptographic 
methodologies, and propose a hybrid framework tailored to health information systems. The research evaluates 
performance metrics such as encryption time, decryption time, data size overhead, and security levels,emphasizing 
the trade-offs between data usability and data protection. Furthermore, this study includes real-world use cases, a 
detailed risk assessment model, and practical guidelines for implementing encryption strategies in diverse healthcare 
environments.
