Media Framing and Portrayals of Ransomware Impacts on Informatics, Employees, and Patients: Systematic Media Literature Review
A systematic media literature review examining how ransomware incidents are portrayed across clinical informatics, workforce operations, and patient safety contexts.
The findings document how infrastructure failures cascade through healthcare systems—informing threat modeling, resilience planning, and architecture decisions for organizations that cannot treat cyber incidents as isolated IT events.
