Cybersecurity Challenges in the Implementation of a Hospital Management Information System
Abstract
Background: Hospital Management Information Systems have become an important part of a hospital's business process. The integration of HMIS with other vertical and horizontal health system elements is part of the roadmap of national health information system development. However, this integration has various risks in terms of cybersecurity like the case of the previous Wannacry Ransomware in several Hospitals. Method: Literature review was used to obtain data and information about what risks of cybersecurity can occur to HMIS. Sources of literature used come from journals, articles and reports of cyberattack attacks from within and outside Indonesia. Results: There are various forms of cyberattacks that can occur to HMIS including Phishing, Ransomware, DDoS, and also internal data leakage. This security gap can interfere with business processes, patient safety, to lawsuits against hospitals if not anticipated. Conclusion: Cyberattack threats can occur to hospital data through HMIS. A standard operational procedure is needed to monitor and evaluate HMIS to minimize the occurrence.
