Анотація

The article examines the role of information security in healthcare in the context of active digitalization of medical processes. It is shown that the introduction of electronic medical records, telemedicine and automated management systems not only improves the quality of medical services, the efficiency of institutions and the availability of medical care, but also creates new risks of leakage, modification or distortion of sensitive information, which requires special attention to cyber protection and standardization of information processes. The features of medical information, which are characterized by high confidentiality, accuracy and criticality for the life and health of patients, are revealed. The need for proper data protection is emphasized to prevent errors in diagnosis, improper treatment, violation of ethical standards and loss of patients' trust in medical institutions. Special attention is paid to the protection of personal data and ensuring the integrity of medical records in the digital environment. The main directions of information security organization in medical institutions are considered: multi-level authentication, access control, backup, data encryption and personal data protection. Key threats to medical information systems are identified – cyberattacks, phishing, malware, technical failures and the human factor, which require a comprehensive approach to risk management and integration of technological, organizational and regulatory measures. Based on the analysis, practical recommendations for increasing the level of information security are formulated: improving data protection policies, using modern encryption technologies and secure information storage, constant monitoring of system operation, creating internal incident response protocols, implementing multi-level user authentication and regular training of personnel on cybersecurity. Implementation of these measures ensures stable, reliable and secure operation of medical information systems, increases the efficiency of medical institutions and strengthens patients' trust in modern digital healthcare.
