Securing Patient Rights and Safety in a Digitally Transformed Healthcare Environment

Abstract

The healthcare industry is transforming with advanced technologies like EHRs, telemedicine, and AI, promising improved patient outcomes and streamlined processes. However, increased digitization has led to a surge in data breaches, exposing vulnerabilities and raising concerns about patient data confidentiality. Regulatory frameworks struggle to keep up with rapid technological changes, highlighting significant gaps. This chapter calls for a holistic approach to protect patient rights, proposing robust policies, advanced technology use, and ongoing staff training. Key findings include a 42% rise in breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and underused AI security solutions. Emphasizing stringent regulations, encryption, and ethical data management, it aims to integrate innovation with oversight to safeguard patient information and trust.
