Abstract

The digitization of healthcare information presents both opportunities and challenges. While electronic health in- formation systems enhance efficiency and accessibility, they also introduce significant cybersecurity risks. This paper examines the cybersecurity dimensions of protecting electronic health information, analyzing the causes and impact of data breaches, exploring the legal and ethical landscape, and evaluating security standards and techniques. The paper discusses the critical importance of robust legal frameworks, ethical practices, and effective security measures to safeguard patient data and maintain trust in the digital healthcare ecosystem.
