  Information security and privacy in the healthcare sector is an issue of
growing importance. The adoption of digital patient records, increased
regulation, provider consolidation and the increasing need for information
exchange between patients, providers and payers, all point towards the need for
better information security. We critically survey the literature on information
security and privacy in healthcare, published in information systems journals
as well as many other related disciplines including health informatics, public
health, law, medicine, and the trade press and industry reports
