Hospitals worldwide have increasingly become targets of severe hacking incidents, including data breaches and ransomware attacks, exposing millions of patient records. According to
the HIPAA Journal, 2023 saw a record number of data breaches in the United States, with over 133 million healthcare records compromised. Cybersecurity for healthcare systems is critical, and medical libraries can play a crucial role in ensuring that future hospital administrators currently training in universities are equipped with the latest research on data protection tailored for healthcare settings. This preparation can enhance their ability to mitigate cyber threats and safeguard sensitive patient information.
