A Framework for Assessing Motivational Methods Towards Incentivizing Cybersecurity Practice in Healthcare

Abstract

Data breaches in healthcare have become common in recent times due to the weakness of the human element. As a result, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations were identified, analyzed, and assessed through a literature survey. After a critical gap analysis of the related studies, a framework was designed. This can be used to practically assess the effectiveness of various motivational methods for incentivizing healthcare staff toward strengthening the human aspect of security practice.
