Recently increased the concern over the security of health records from the rise of Electronic Health Records(EHR) . access to those records increases exponentially with wide usage of the smartphone, other devices lead to medical identity theft, and exchange of data between and among organizations, clinicians, federal agencies, and patients.
Another problem is that data can be hacked, manipulated, or destroyed by internal or external users for private purposes. Patient privacy is a fundamental right that is being challenged as of now.
Injuries sustained by patients while they are in care. Some patients die accidently as a result of such injuries.

Challenges that VLF management :
Concern over the security of health records from the rise of Electronic Health Records (EHR), and regulatory compliance to patient protection laws
There is a real shortage of healthcare professionals and Healthcare professionals demand to be paid more to repay their edu loans. So hospital administrators find difficulty to acquire quality employees and ensuring profitability of VLF hospital as they pay more.
Other challenges that VLF
management dealt with is providing healthcare services
to number of uninsured and underinsured patients and maintaining
fiscal responsibility. Healthcare administrators must find
ways to offset these bad expences
Physician burnout of VLF : experienced physicians felt burnout
Medical Supply chain issues represented a major obstacle for VLF management.
