Research Questions

1. What are the main compliance management mechanisms used in healthcare organizations?

2. How do these mechanisms solve risk management problems, with a specific focus on information security?

3. What strengths and weaknesses do healthcare organizations' existing compliance management mechanisms have in their eyes?

4. What aspects of contemporary compliance management frameworks could be enhanced to improve information security?

Literature review and the key constructs

Enterprise compliance management literature authorizes compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, risk management models, and information security. Regulation, evaluation, protection, information security standards, and event management are the most significant concepts in this field.

Several theoretical frameworks have been identified in the study of compliance management. The Compliance Theory is based on governmental regulations to guide organizations' behavior, whereas the Risk Management Theory is concerned with the identification, evaluation, and minimization of risks that can result in unfavorable consequences. The Information Security Management Theory probes into the measures employed in an organization to guard information resources.

Gaps in Knowledge

Reviewing recent papers, it is possible to conclude that there are weaknesses in analyzing compliance management systems and their application. Although many academic papers concern compliance frameworks and risk management approaches, relatively few studies examine their effectiveness in practice, especially in healthcare organizations. Furthermore, more studies are required to explain how information security measures should be implemented under compliance management systems.

Purpose and Scope

This study aims to assess the factors associated with implementing compliance management in healthcare organizations, emphasizing risk management and information security ((Chen et al., 2020). It will establish the best practices within the compliance framework and draw conclusions and recommendations.

Research Methods

The research will use email and online questionnaires followed by face-to-face interviews with the key informants: compliance officers, IS professionals, and other related staff in the healthcare facilities. The quantitative part of the study will consist in administering a questionnaire to determine the probability of using the recognized compliance tools and their efficiency. The qualitative component will provoke questionnaires and interviews to understand the difficulties and achievements of working in this field.

Target Population

This study's population comprises compliance officers, risk management experts, and information security officers serving in healthcare facilities. The research is interested in these people to understand compliance management methods and their implications for information protection and risk control.
