INTRODUCTION
Digital system can be described as elements that includes hardware, network, software along
with their use. There is different component that is required for purpose of developing on system.
Digital system is important for digital transformation that is important for survival of business in
digital landscape (Blau and Shamir-Inbal, 2018). These digital systems are important for purpose
of improving hiring process as company can maintain records of candidate on digital system.
This system also helps company to maintain other record of employees like leave, salary and
personal information. It also allows company to build good relationship with their patients as
effective digital system assist company for maintain privacy of patients records that is important
in order to maintain privacy. This project report includes description of reason due to which
health care organisation become vulnerable and dependent with use of information systems. It
explains different internet challenges faced in view of the protection of healthcare staff, patients
and customers data, privacy and intellectual property. It explains different ways in which
informed consent, legislation, industry self–regulation and technology tools help protect the
individual privacy of internet users. Moreover, it includes discussion of ways that protect
intellectual property rights.
MAIN BODY
Describe why some Healthcare organisations have become dependent and vulnerable because of
using Information Systems
Health care organisation is using technology at large extent which provide them various
advantage. But cyber security is creating threat for health care industry as there are various types
of data is issued in it. These data are related to their staff members as well as their patients.
Increasing use of information system crate vulnerability for patients data. As it is important for
health care organisation to put careful insights in business which assist them for purpose of
protecting valuable information of their customers (Buck, Probst Marques and Rosemann, 2021).
Without insights of organisation, third party can take advantage of valuable information of
organisation. There is various reason for which health care organisation is becoming dependent
and vulnerable with use of information system. These reasons in context of health care
organisation are mentioned below:
1

Staff: There are various employees work in a health care organisation who has easy access to
files of patients. All these employees do not take advantage of this power but some employees
can steal this information of patients. This information can be used by criminals in theft related
to identity or can be used to for blackmail people. There are different ways in which staff can
steal these records. There are some cases where employees can access to financial documents of
patients and use their credit card numbers for purpose of committing fraudulent purchase.
Malware and phishing attempts: There are various malware as well as phishing schemes
which are planting different malicious scripts on device or stealing login credentials that can
compromise complete system (Burgos and Ivanov, 2021). In this, challenge is occurred related to
dealing with malware is that it requires seemingly authentic link for purpose of introducing
nefarious cyber presence into network. In this, it is important to provide training to staff for
purpose of recognising phishing attempts. In this, most common scan that is done by creating
emails from authentic looking sites that require login information.
Vendors: There are various health care providers who needs to work with different vendors and
they work with them without assessing as well as accompanying risk. For instance, hospitality
needs to hire cleaning company and their employees can access to computers. Although, it is
difficult for average employees for accessing to patient information but at same time, it is also
difficult for health care organisation safeguard all points of accessing information. At same time,
it is also important for hospitals to hire cleaning employees in order to maintain healthy work
environment.
Unsecured mobile devices: There are various health care facilities which are allowed logins
through mobiles but these devices do not always need to meet security standards (Gretzel, Ham
and Koo, 2018). It creates problems for their networks and also make them vulnerable for
hackers and malware as all these planning and security of organisation does not create influence
over communication devices of staff.
Explain some of the internet challenges faced in view of the protection of healthcare staff,
patients and customers data, privacy and intellectual property
There are various changes occur health care organisation as there is increasing use of
internet and other technologies in business. All these create some internet challenges for
business. In order to protect privacy of data of healthcare staff, customers, different challenges
are faced by healthcare organisation and these are mentioned below:
