Enhancing Healthcare Resilience: The Integration of Health Information Technicians, Medical Records, and Health Security for Sustainable Healthcare Systems

Abstract

Resilient and sustainable healthcare systems are essential to ensuring preparedness to respond to and recover from crises while maintaining the delivery of high-quality care. This review explores the integration of health information technology, electronic health records, and health security as key components to enhancing health care resilience and sustainability. The adoption of electronic health records has revolutionized healthcare systems by enabling seamless data management, improving care coordination, and enhancing decision-making processes. However, challenges such as cybersecurity threats, data privacy concerns, and technology interoperability continue to hinder optimal implementation. Health information technicians play a critical role in managing accurate and secure health data, while health security measures protect sensitive patient information from emerging cyber and systemic threats. This review highlights practical strategies to overcome these challenges, including workforce training, investing in advanced technologies, and fostering global collaboration.
