Technologies for information security are actively used in organizations where information is intensely used. Information
security covers the entire process of protection, processing and transmission of information within organizations. The
information security process starts with a security policy designed to protect the organization’s general assets. Information
security policies include rules and practices on obligations of employees, the use of security control instruments and the
management of process.
In healthcare management, information management systems provide the information needed at each stage of processes
related to health care activities.
Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) are an example for the use of information and communication technology
in healthcare. Hospitals are complex structures where multiple functions are carried out together. As well as keeping a complete
medical record, basic functions of hospital information management system can be listed as keeping financial records, using
resources properly, increasing the service quality, provision of information support for important decisions for clinicians
and managers. In this frame, information security and patient privacy are critical points for these functions in healthcare
management.
