Protecting personal health information requires understanding staff needs and attitudes. Implementing a security policy, combined with user input, fosters a stronger security culture in healthcare settings.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Security
  • Organizational Behavior

Background:

  • Patient and healthcare staff awareness of personal health data protection measures is insufficient.
  • Developing effective information and security policies necessitates considering staff attitudes and educational requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the development and implementation of an information and security policy in a healthcare environment.
  • To assess the impact of user attitudes and educational needs on policy development.
  • To foster a 'security culture' within a healthcare organization.

Main Methods:

  • A combined approach of risk analysis and user attitude surveys was employed.
  • A participational method, adapting the ETHICS soft systems methodology, was used for procedure development.
Keywords:
Professional Patient Relationship

  • Implementation occurred over several years in a large District General Hospital.

    • Main Results:

    • A 'security culture' has started to emerge within the organization.
    • The integrated approach addressed user attitudes and educational needs effectively.
    • Sustaining the security culture requires ongoing promotion and procedural adaptation.

    Conclusions:

    • A participational approach integrating risk analysis and user feedback is effective for developing healthcare information security policies.
    • Establishing a sustainable 'security culture' depends on continuous policy promotion and adaptability.
    • Addressing staff attitudes and educational needs is crucial for enhancing data protection in healthcare.
