Cybersecurity Training in the Healthcare Workforce – Utilization of the ADDIE Model
Matthew Pears, Stathis Th Konstantinidis · 2021
Cybersecurity attacks in healthcare have evolved towards social engineering and human-based intervention, showing increased frequency and success of such attacks. Increased priority and resources towards human factors training can reduce cybercriminal opportunity in healthcare. A cybersecurity workshop, developed following the ADDIE model, allowed frontline healthcare workforce and nursing students to increase their knowledge and confidence abilities against windows of opportunity for cybercrime. Participants confidence in cybersecurity skills use in daily practice significantly increased while participants knowledge showed a positive tendency. A list of actions for enhancing the cybersecurity in healthcare training is discussed as guidance for current and future curricula.
