Abstract

For healthcare organizations that specialize in cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms, it is crucial to have an effective enterprise security plan in the digital health environment. Such a plan must address critical security areas, including risk assessment, security policies, network security, incident response, business continuity, disaster recovery, and system/application security. It should incorporate industry best practices, regulatory compliance, and advanced security technologies to protect sensitive patient data and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the organization’s systems/data. The proposed plan aims to create a robust and flexible security framework, empowering healthcare organizations to securely grow their operations and uphold their standing as frontrunners in secure EHR solutions.
