Abstract:

From The fundamental of IT Knowledge to Promoting Patients’ Engagement Through Information Technology by Nurses, many other topics remain of great importance but the one that stood out most to me is: Privacy and Security of Patient Health Information - Cybersecurity in Medical Practice which I will now share while incorporating the Critical Skills in Nursing Informatics gained throughout my study.

Expertise of caring in nursing is essential for the outcome of patient care, it offers a fresh perspective on how technology and compassion may coexist in nursing. The measurement of technological skills, as expressed in shared understandings among stakeholders, informs the best practices needed to anchor nursing treatment techniques in science, humanity, and professional nursing. The validity of the Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing Instrument is essential for compassionate and thorough care.

Key Words:

Cyber Security; Privacy and security; Health Information; Safety Measures; Electronic Health Records; Nursing Informatics, Technology and Human Touch.

Introduction
COLLABORATIVE TECHNIQUES from many industries and organizations that have decided to dedicate their energy to combat and manage the risk factors that have jeopardized the nation's infrastructure have been outstanding. It is commendable that the programs have taken the effort to secure our patients' health information.

Understanding the threat landscape is crucial, and with strategic preparation, it is feasible to halt operations aimed at demolishing, destroying, and disrupting the health care business in terms of medical records security.

With an understanding of how technological advancement can create tools that are relevant to this threat, it is critical that we continue to impart knowledge to others on a rapid basis to improve the cybersecurity infrastructure and put national security as priority to minimize the risk factors being encountered.

It is necessary to take the initiative, one of which is to have defensive mechanisms in place; it will take a collective approach of both national and international coalitions.

There has been a slew of efforts aimed at increasing patient involvement in their health information. Access to their medical records might be dangerous, thus they need to be able to safeguard themselves as much as possible by using internet portals. The majority of patients take benefit of having access to their health information, and with advancements in health-care technology, they are better able to monitor their health issues and have access to health-care organization websites and other resources. Because of the increased usage of online record information, security measures have been enhanced to provide patients the confidence to retrieve medical data without worry.

Some of the security measures include:

Cybersecurity policy, IPFS Interplanetary File System, Blockchain, which contains a shared ledger, Smart Contract Consensus, and Privacy, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

The process of electronically transmitting health information to other health care providers is essential, as it is a faster and more reliable way to provide information about patients. With increased awareness and the ability to access data online, patients can maximize their potential, improve usability skills, and achieve better results. As patients interact with physicians’ online, they will have better access to information about their treatment.

Critical Skills in Nursing Informatics


 * Nurses need to balance the demands of using machine technologies competently and caring in nursing.
 * Nurses use technology and human touch together to relate to their patients with true presence and intent
 * Caring in nursing takes place in shared situations between nurses, patients, and family members. Things may change from one moment to the next moment and require openness to care.
 * Nursing is an important part of healthcare that focuses on human caring.
 * Caring is engaging in compassion, physical presence, comforting, and respect to the person.
 * Nursing is a unique study of knowledge, skills, and abilities to care.

Conclusion

Patients who can download and transmit their medical information to their insurance providers or other health professionals will be of tremendous aid, in their treatment and for a faster resolution. The faith in the security measures has increased, enhancing their confidence and trust in the health industry. This, combined with the below-mentioned Critical Care in Nursing Informatics, has influenced the abilities and willingness to follow these examples to provide competent, passionate, respectful care for a better outcome for the patients while also ensuring the safety and security of their medical records.
