Understanding Healthcare Cybersecurity, AI, and Emerging Technologies: Protecting Patients and Their Data (HIMSS Book Series)

Healthcare cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection are foundational to modern healthcare operations. Healthcare organizations operate in complex environments that rely on trusted virtual and physical access by both human and nonhuman entities, as well as an extensive network of vendors, service providers, and third parties that support clinical, administrative, and technical functions. Despite these challenges, everyone needs to work together to safeguard patient information, systems, networks, devices, applications, data, and other resources.

This book offers practical guidance for individuals involved in healthcare cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection, as well as international stakeholders.
