The Evolution of Healthcare Cybersecurity and The Safeguarding of Patient Data in The Modern Age of Medicine
Background/Purpose
Modern medicine is rife with the use of information technology (IT). Beginning with the introduction of hospital information systems around 1970, digital imaging modalities like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the 1970s and 1980s, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems and softcopy reading in the 1980s and 1990s, to the electronic sharing of clinical information across regions, nations, or even globally today. The hospital has become a crucial tool for speedy, effective, and affordable communication. However, the expanding use of IT and the Internet in hospitals has also generated new issues, and one area that has grown in importance for hospitals is cybersecurity. To comprehend this challenge, it is crucial to undertake a thorough examination and meticulous study of its evolutionary journey. The evolution of healthcare cybersecurity reflects the changing landscape of healthcare delivery and technology, as well as the growing threats and challenges posed by cyberattacks.
Methods
A review of literature on the subject was conducted across Google, Google Scholar, journal articles, radiography and radiology websites as well as the Information and Telecommunication Union website. Words like the evolution of cybersecurity, cyberattacks in hospitals, cybersecurity in radiology, vulnerability, radiography, radiology, and medical imaging were used in the search.
Results
The health industry suffers some of the highest volume of cyberattacks and there are whispers of a lot to come. Combine these trends with the breach damage cost surpassing all other industries and a thunderous warning of a devastating cyberattack approaching the sector.
Conclusion
Healthcare organizations need to adopt proactive and comprehensive strategies to safeguard their data, such as implementing robust policies, standards, and protocols, conducting regular risk assessments and audits, educating and training staff and patients, and collaborating with other stakeholders.
