Abstract

Security - especially nowadays - cannot be defined with an exact term. Patient safety is a complex concept interpreted as "broad band". In order to ensure safe patient care, there is a need for cooperation between a many medical-professional, technical, technological, energetic, IT and logistic areas. If one of these fails, patient safety may be damaged. In my study, I will give a brief overview of the structure and relationship system of the Hungarian health care system. I am focusing on the operation of IT systems for healthcare systems classified below critical infrastructure (CIS) to be protected, and on the ever-changing challenges.
The topicality of my study is the practice of cyber attacks that are becoming increasingly intense and measurable, as well as the protection of personal health data that qualify as special data. I find that using a responsible IT infrastructure has at least as much impact on secure IT operations, indirectly for patient safety, as the introduction of advanced technologies and their high use.
