Adopting Organizational Cultural Changes Concerning Whistle-Blowing in Healthcare Around Information Security in the “Internet of Things” World

Abstract

Medical labs, hospitals, doctor's offices, and medical devices face significant cyber risks. The insecurity of medical devices, including imaging hardware, threatens patient safety. Health organizations are rich with valuable data as well as weak with information security expertise, protocols, and infrastructure. It is critical for more health organizations to focus creating organizational cultures with processes that offer all employees to fully understand the nature of information security risks and have the ability to be active participants in the minimization and reporting of observable risks. This article will lay a foundation to establish techniques and practices for open door policies.
