            as discussed. Ensuring the security of data in healthcare is not the responsibility of just one stakeholder
            but everyone must do their part to make it work be it patient, provider, payor or policymaker. Healthcare
            information  systems  can’t  operate  in  isolation  they  need  an  integrated  approach  to  provide  efficient
            collaboration and communication between information systems used by different providers. In case any
            one of the links in the network is weak the ball will be in the court of criminals which may lead to a breach
            leading to severe damages. Research studies suggest that the healthcare industry is becoming one of
            the prime targets by criminals, therefore, there is an urgent need to take preventive measures by the
            industry stakeholders to ensure the security of care data.
