Abstract
Efficient healthcare is thus highly dependent on doctors being provided with access to patients medical information at the right time and place. However it frequently happens that critical pieces of pertinent information end up not being used because they are located in information systems that do not interoperate in a timely manner. There are many reasons that contribute to this grim state of affairs, but what interests us the most is the lack of enforceable security policies for systems interoperability and data exchange and the existence of many heterogeneous legacy systems that are almost impossible to directly include into any reasonable secure interoperable workflow. The objective of this paper is to establish a mobile agent access control model based on RBAC model that allows the exchange of clinical information between different health institutions that fall within the same circle of trust.
