Health Organizations’ Security Program
Introduction
The Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines electronic health record (EHR) as the electronic version of patients’ medical data. The information is maintained by the provider over a period of time. It includes crucial administrative clinical facts, such as the patients’ progress notes, demographics, vital signs, and the observed progress. Thus, the use of EHR in the healthcare sector is believed to be an evolution in the industry. However, the integration of information systems into the healthcare settings has raised concerns because of the security threats. Cybercriminals continue to develop new ways of breaching into organizations’ databases, thus the need for hospitals, which implement EHR to develop the ideal cyber-security methodologies.
