Abstract

The healthcare industry’s shift toward digitalization through electronic health records (EHRs) and advanced health information technology (HIT) promises improved patient care but brings forth challenges in safeguarding patient data privacy, confidentiality, and security (PCS). Researchers are exploring innovative solutions like block chain and cryptography to address these concerns while ensuring usability for healthcare professionals. Additionally, the impact of regulatory frameworks on data sharing and security is being studied, emphasizing the importance of robust privacy regulations and security measures. New technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are being utilized to improve the quality of healthcare delivery. Overall, while the digital transformation of healthcare presents multifaceted challenges, ongoing research aims to overcome these obstacles to maximize the benefits of digital health systems while preserving patient privacy and confidentiality.

Keywords: Electronic health records (EHR), health information exchange (HIE), tele health, health information technology (HIT), health informatics
