Medical errors can occur in many areas of healthcare, including hospitals, clinics, and surgery centers. They can result in negative consequences for patients and their loved ones. Over the years, different methods have been used to reduce medical errors. Zero Trust is an information security model that denies access to applications and data by default. Other industries have successfully used Zero Trust Model (ZTM), and it has been shown to improve outcomes. This editorial analyzes how the ZTM can be introduced to prevent medical errors in healthcare settings. ZTM application in healthcare could potentially revolutionize patient safety by tightly controlling and monitoring access to sensitive patient data and critical systems. By enhancing security measures, the ZTM could address the paramount concerns of patient data privacy and safety in healthcare. The zero-trust approach offers a potential solution by identifying consistent causes of errors and providing viable solutions to prevent their recurrence. In the era of worsening ransomware attacks on healthcare systems, the ZTM could also have enormous implications in other cybersecurity aspects. With this manuscript, the authors advocate for the broader application of ZTM across other facets of healthcare cybersecurity. |
