  abstract = {Electronic health records (EHR) systems can provide doctors and other healthcare professionals with a greater access to the patient’s information in a timely manner. Researchers will also have more complete and higher quality data to improve diagnosis and treatments. However, people have genuine privacy concerns that their data might be leaked and thus eroding their trust in the health system. Trust is at the core of privacy and therefore, this paper examines the security measures that are implemented in three countries, namely Denmark, England and Australia, to protect their EHR systems. To identify the countermeasures related to the technologies, policies and human factors that are implemented in the three countries, an in-depth analysis of literature (including an official documentation of EHR in the three countries) was performed. This paper finds that it is important to adopt a more holistic approach where strong policies and practices are implemented, and cyber security awareness and trainings are provided to the users of the system. Adopting this approach can reduce any human related incidents as well as mitigate the concerns surrounding security and privacy.},
