The survey is open to physicians, nurses, technicians, administrative staff and other hospital-based professionals who use digital systems or devices in their work. It explores how cybersecurity practices, such as secure login and authentication, password management, access control, encrypted communication, and reporting suspicious activity fit into real clinical workflows, with the aim of identifying practical improvements that support patient care, reduce unnecessary burden on staff, and strengthen security without disrupting clinical work.
