Information Security in the Surgeries of Private Doctors

Information Security in the Surgeries of Private Doctors

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

In connection with providing quality, safe and secure healthcare, health professionals are increasingly required to have knowledge of the areas reflected in the health care, such as the knowledge of the management of quality control, information technologies, and last but not least, some basic knowledge of legislation. If the information concerning patients, medical services, economic costs, etc., is kept and transferred in the secure network environment of healthcare information systems, the protection of personal data is ensured by the actual network environment. A more difficult situation arises when we want to transfer medical (and associated economic) information outside this environment. Then the protection of sensitive personal data in healthcare information systems is a prerequisite for their functionality. The authors of the article focus on the perception of risk brought about by healthcare computerization by patients. The authors also concentrate on identifying areas that should be covered by the methodology for information security management in surgeries of private doctors.
