Abstract

Keeping sensitive patient data safe is essential for hospitals and other medical facilities. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are considered highly confidential documents at healthcare facilities due to the sensitive nature of the information contained inside them. The proper handling of sensitive patient data is essential to preventing its disclosure or misuse. The purpose of this research is to analyze the current state of information security management practices with regard to Electronic Health Records (EHR) and how they are safeguarded against potential security threats and risks in healthcare, especially when communicating sensitive information between various healthcare actors and across borders. In order to identify potential difficulties connected to security threats to healthcare management, a case study and various interviews were conducted on the Indian healthcare system. The theoretical work laid the groundwork and offered justification for possible remedies to security concerns and threats in Indian healthcare. Following the completion of the mapping process, potential rules and recommendations were created for healthcare institutions to follow in order to prevent unwanted access to sensitive information and maintain information security. Data security threats in the Indian healthcare system were analyzed, and recommendations were made to improve the state of affairs and head off future threats. We can now say that the technical and administrative handling of security issues has been thoroughly investigated. Its primary function is healthcare, and it is the obligation of the company's upper management to protect the privacy of patients' personal data.
