The hospitals information system is crucial for the smooth operation of diagnostic, treatment, and management services, encompassing vital data such as medical health records, patient histories, and health resource information. Cyber security is fundamental to the stability of this system and the integrity of its data. This competition significantly contributes to enhancing cyber security awareness across the healthcare industry in our province, driving the improvement of cyber security skills in various medical institutions, and bolstering the ability to detect and counter cyber threats.
Over the years, Hainan Cancer Hospital and Hainan Chengmei Hospital have upheld the philosophy of "patient-centricity with security as the foundation." They have actively implemented national policies on cyber security, prioritized network information security maintenance, continually innovated in cyber security technology, and monitored cyber security status in real-time to swiftly identify and address any security issues.
This competition not only highlights the professional proficiency of the participating individuals but also reflects the hospitals emphasis on cyber security and information technology development. A representative from the information department of Hainan Cancer Hospital stated that they will continue to strengthen cyber security efforts, enhance the professional proficiency and skills of their team, introduce advanced cyber security technologies and management practices, and provide a more robust safeguard for the security of medical information systems. Simultaneously, they hope that all medical institutions in the province can raise their awareness of cyber security prevention, jointly safeguard industry information security, and promote its healthy development.
It is noteworthy that the fifth National Healthcare Industry Cyber Security Skills Competition will take place in Nanjing on May 18, 2024. The award-winning contestants, Wu Huageng and Zhang Jiyu, will represent Hainan as members and alternates of the provincial team.
