Failing to back up data in the context of cancer can lead to several severe consequences:
1. Data Loss: Critical patient and research data could be lost permanently. 2. Interruption of Care: Inability to access patient records can interrupt ongoing treatments and delay new patient care plans. 3. Research Setbacks: Loss of research data can set back years of work and delay the development of new treatments. 4. Financial Costs: Data recovery efforts can be expensive and time-consuming. 5. Regulatory Non-Compliance: Healthcare organizations may face legal penalties for failing to protect sensitive data.
