Summary E-health allows better communication between health care providers and higher availability of medical data leading to reduced
costs and better quality of patients' treatments. However, the downside of interconnected systems is the increased probability
of unauthorized access to highly sensitive records which could result in serious discrimination against the patient or identity
theft. This article gives an overview of actual privacy threats, such as genetic discrimination, and presents a pseudonymization
approach that keeps the patient's privacy and data confidentiality but – at the same time – allows access for authorized persons.
This allows primary use of the medical records by health care providers and privacy-preserving secondary use by researchers.
