1. Privacy leakage: Health records usually contain personal sensitive information, such as medical history, family medical history, drug use, etc. If this information is leaked without authorization, it may lead to the abuse of personal information, such as being used by insurance companies or employers.
2. Identity theft: If personal information in health records is stolen, such as social security number and date of birth, it may be used for identity theft.
3. Medical malpractice: Wrong or incomplete information in health records may lead to medical malpractice during diagnosis or treatment. For example, if there is wrong information about drug allergy in the file, it may bring serious consequences to patients.
