Advances of Cyber Security in the Healthcare Domain for Analyzing Data

Abstract

Analyzing healthcare data is an important part of improving patient outcomes and driving healthcare innovation. With the increasing digitization of healthcare records and the growing use of electronic health records (EHRs), there is a wealth of data available that can be used to inform clinical decision-making. Analyzing healthcare data comes with its own unique set of challenges. Healthcare data can be complex and voluminous, and it often exists in disparate systems and formats. Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important in the healthcare domain, as the industry is rapidly digitizing and relying more on electronic data management systems. This chapter analyzed the current state of cybersecurity in the healthcare domain, discussing the common types of cyber threats faced by healthcare organizations and the potential impact of these threats on patient care. The goal of this chapter is to provide an overview of healthcare data analysis and to highlight the ways in which security feature can be used to drive improvements in patient care and healthcare outcomes.
