Human Technology Interface Flashcards
plays a critical role in modern nursing, allowing nurses to interact with various technologies like Electronic Health Records (EHRs), clinical decision support systems, and communication tools.
HTI
is the interaction between humans and technological systems
HTI
benefits of HTI
Efficient data entry, improved communication, access to information, decision-making support.
Problems of HTI in Nursing
Complex interfaces
Information overload
System downtime
Usability issues
Difficult to navigate and learn, leading to errors and frustration.
Complex interfaces
Large amounts of data can be overwhelming, hindering efficient care delivery
Information overload
Disruptions can significantly impact workflow and patient care.
System downtime
Systems may not be designed with the specific needs of nurses in mind, leading to inefficiencies.
Usability issues
Improving HTI in Nursing
USER-CENTERED DESIGN
STANDARDIZED INTERFACES
TRAINING AND SUPPORT
VOICE RECOGNITION AND OTHER ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Design systems that are intuitive and user-friendly for nurses.
USER-CENTERED DESIGN
Consistent interfaces across different systems reduce confusion and errors.
STANDARDIZED INTERFACES
Provide comprehensive training on using technology and ongoing support to address issues
TRAINING AND SUPPORT
Explore and implement technologies that promote hands-free interaction.
VOICE RECOGNITION AND OTHER ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
can automate routine tasks and provide real-time decision support.
Artificial Intelligence
can collect valuable patient data and monitor health trends.
Wearable Technologies
can be used for training and simulations, enhancing learning and skill development.
Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality
Importance of Security:
Protecting sensitive patient data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction (HIPAA compliance).
Threats to Security
Hacking, malware, phishing attacks, insider threats, accidental data loss.
Malicious attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or systems.
Hacking
Malicious software designed to harm a system, such as viruses, worms, and ransomware.
Malware
Deceptive emails or messages designed to trick users into revealing sensitive information.
Phishing attacks
Unintentional loss of data due to human error, hardware or software failures, or natural disasters.
Accidental data loss
Malicious activities by individuals with authorized access to data or systems.
Insider threats
Types of Malware
Ransomware
Spyware
Adware
Worms
Trojan
Botnets
a type of cryptovirological malware that permanently block access to the victim’s personal data unless a ransom is paid.
Ransomware
malicious software that enters a user’s computer, gathers data from the device and user, and sends it to third parties without their consent.
Spyware
the term used for various pop-up advertisements that show up on your computer or mobile device
Adware
a type of malware that can automatically propagate or self-replicate without human interaction, enabling its spread to other computers across a network
Worms
a type of malware that downloads onto a computer disguised as a legitimate program
Trojan
a group of computers which have been infected by malware and have come under the control of a malicious actor.
Botnets
scrambles data, making it unreadable without a decryption key
Encryption
act as gatekeepers, controlling network traffic and preventing unauthorized access.
Firewalls
restricts access to data and systems based on specific permissions for each user and system
Access control
Data Back-Up and Recover
ensures data can be restored in case of any incident
Transforming data into a scrambled form unreadable without a decryption key.
Encryption
Security systems that control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on defined rules.
Firewalls
Granting access to authorized users and systems based on specific permissions
Access Control
Regularly backing up data and having a reliable recovery plan in place.
Data Back-Up and Recovery
is crucial for ensuring data security
Verifying user identity
utilizes various methods, like passwords and biometrics, to confirm user identity before granting access.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
allows users to access multiple systems with one login, reducing the risk of relying on weak passwords or forgetting login credentials.
Single sign-on (SSO)
Requiring multiple forms of verification, such as passwords, tokens, or biometrics (e.g., fingerprints), to access systems.
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
Allows users to access multiple systems with a single login, reducing the risk of password fatigue and unauthorized access.
Single sign-on (SSO)
TOP 10 Cyber Security Threats for 2030
1.Supply chain compromise of software dependencies
2.Advanced disinformation campaigns
3.Rise of digital surveillance authoritarianism/loss of privacy
4.Human error and exploited legacy systems within cyber-physical ecosystems
5.Targeted attacks enhanced by smart device data
6.Lack of analysis and control of space-based infrastructure and objects
7.Rise of advanced hybrid threats
8.Skills shortage
9.Cross-border ICT service providers as a single point of failure
10.Artificial intelligence abuse
Security Tools and Best Practices
- REGULARLY UPDATE SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS WITH SECURITY PATCHES.
- IMPLEMENT STRONG PASSWORD POLICIES AND ENFORCE PASSWORD CHANGES.
- EDUCATE AND TRAIN ALL STAFF ON CYBERSECURITY BEST PRACTICES, INCLUDING RECOGNIZING AND RESPONDING TO PHISHING ATTACKS.
- EMPLOY DATA ENCRYPTION AND ACCESS CONTROL MEASURES.
- CONDUCT REGULAR SECURITY AUDITS AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS.
