2018 recorded over 500 data breaches leading to a compromise in around 15 million patient healthcare records. The number increased to 25 million in 2019. The figure is indeed worrisome from the perspective of privacy and security in healthcare.
Data leak of personal and medical information regarding ailments, disabilities, or mental conditions, can damage the reputation of both doctors and their patients.
Innovative health care platforms in UK that include remote evaluation and diagnosis of patients, sharing of electronic medical records and digital images with the medical expert and video-links with trauma specialists for timely care often pose serious risks such as violation of privacy and security during continuous real-time transmission of data, diagnostic errors, and technical glitches.
