Objective of the study: Statistics shows a worrisome picture of challenges to be overcome by cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. Data evidence that the healthcare industry experiences four data breaches per week in the United States alone, making it the sector most often affected by digital security breaches. Thus, the current article aims to investigate risk management focusing on identifying requirements and best practices for healthcare data security systems.Methodology/approach: It is based on a systematic literature review. Studies on state-of-the-art data security systems were collected and interpreted through content analysis. Assertive keywords, source-selection criteria, interpretation of selected articles, and database analysis were used to form the investigated sample and to represent the broad applications of this study’s objective.Originality/Relevance: The current study contributes to define a set of minimum requirements and best practices that can be adopted to manage data security risks in the healthcare sector and medical devices.Main results: Results have pointed out that there is no fully effective way to prevent all violations by cybercriminals; however, cybersecurity must be part of management processes adopted by different organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is found that cybersecurity has a great importance for the healthcare sector, the information generated is rich in content and that cybersecurity is neglected in the sector, that is not able to deal with the reality of cyber threats in the industry 4.0 context.Social /management contributions: By the good risk management practices and the adoption of minimum security items, institutions can ensure that managers can prepare and respond efficiently to cyber risks.

Rights Issue

In Canada, community interpreting is little recognized and valued by public institutions, including those in the healthcare sector. Although many healthcare practitioners recognize the crucial role played by interpreters in delivering healthcare services, some of them ascribe to the notion that the inability to communicate with English-speaking or French-speaking patients is the patient ’s problem, and that any linguistic miscommunication which may occur is the responsibility of the patient. This attitude contributes to the degree to which healthcare practitioners rely on interpreting provided by family members, including children, without consideration either for risks of errors and omission or for potential violations of confidentiality, which are likely to occur when askingfriends or relatives to provide interpreting services. This “wall of resistance” has been deemed responsiblefor much of the difficulty experienced in Canada by immigrant and minority language advocacy groups in trying to ensure community interpreting services for immigrants, refugees and those Canadians with limited proficiency in English and/or French. A recently completed research studyfunded by the Government of Canada suggests that a paradigm shift may be operating in the healthcare sector, and that instead of still seeing language barriers solely as a human rights issue, language barriers should be considered from a risk-management perspective as well. This paper will review some of the mainfindings of this study.

Risk Management System

Covid-19 has imposed a rethinking of risk management systems in the healthcare sector. The aim of this paper is to investigate how the risk has been and is managed by the healthcare organizations, on the basis of regional directives. The analysis focuses on the health system of the Lombardy Region. In particular, the authors focused on the resolutions adopted by the Lombardy Region in the acute phase of the pandemic (2 March 2020-12 May 2020) with the aim of rebuilding the system put in place by the Region for risk prevention and management. Thanks to the resolutions, the Lombardy Region has established a risk management system, consisting of a surveillance system and an emergency management system that seems to have led to positive consequences.
