<![CDATA[Hospitals' and the government's respective responsibilities in the event of a data breach involving patients' electronic health records are the focus of this investigation. Using both statutory and conceptual approaches, the research is normative juridical in nature. The findings indicate that: In the event that a patient's electronic medical record data is leaked, the hospital may face three types of legal responsibility. Firstly, there is civil liability, which allows the patient to sue the hospital for breach of contract or broken promise. Secondly, there is criminal liability, which is based on the principle of error and, if proven guilty, can result in fines and jail time for the hospital administrator. As controllers of patient personal data, hospitals may face administrative consequences such as fines, suspension of operations, termination of access to electronic systems, and/or removal from the PSE list (C.
