Description
Discover how the interconnected nature of medical devices, electronic health records, and hospital networks creates cybersecurity and data privacy vulnerabilities that, if exploited, can have devastating consequences.
Part of Bloomsbury's Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book is divided into three sections. Part I offers readers the background information they need to better understand the current digital threats faced by the healthcare system and how they can negatively impact patient well-being. Chapters explore the historical, technological, and legal foundations of this topic. Part II features in-depth discussions of a selection of issues within the current cybersecurity and data privacy landscape, including the role of AI in cybersecurity. Part III provides a selection of five case studies that bring the topic to life and provide real-world insights. A glossary and a directory of resources round out the volume.
