Abstract
Cybersecurity incidents in healthcare present significant legal implications for clinicians, necessitating careful consideration of technological advancements and regulatory frameworks. This literature examines the healthcare cybersecurity landscape, emphasizing clinicians’ challenges, and legal responsibilities. It explores the impact of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing, highlighting the potential benefits and risks, including biases and ethical dilemmas. The review addresses international regulatory differences, offering a comparative analysis of how various countries handle cybersecurity incidents. This analysis provides insights into best practices and identifies areas for improvement. Practical recommendations are provided, tailored to different healthcare settings, including large hospitals and small clinics, to enhance cybersecurity preparedness. Case studies illustrate real-world scenarios, offering practical guidance for clinicians in managing cybersecurity challenges. The review also identifies critical gaps in the literature, particularly concerning artificial intelligence ethics and international regulatory frameworks, suggesting specific areas for future research. These findings underscore the need for robust cybersecurity policies, comprehensive training for healthcare professionals, and a nuanced understanding of the legal landscape. This review informs policymakers, clinicians, and researchers about the evolving nature of cybersecurity challenges in healthcare, addressing key concerns raised by reviewers and contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the field.
