Data Leakage in the Hospital Environment: Assessment of Risks, Impacts and Mitigation Measures.

Abstract

Abstract: Data leakage in the hospital environment is a growing concern due to the increasing use of digital technologies to store and share patient information. This article analyzes the risks associated with the spread of information in hospitals, its impacts on patient safety and hospital operations, and discusses mitigation measures to prevent such incidents. Using a systematic literature review approach, we examine recent studies on hospital base disclosures and highlight existing gaps in the research. Additionally, we propose guidelines to strengthen information security in hospital environments and reduce the likelihood of element exposures.
