If you manage IT for healthcare professionals who interact with the public or work with patient information, then you know the challenges around device management and privacy management.
These busy professionals need to communicate sensitive and timely information to patients, other health care staff, administrators, insurers and so on. Mobile phones and other mobile devices have become the standard among these users.
But maintaining privacy and security over personal healthcare information is an absolute must, mandated by law in many jurisdictions, such as under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States .
How do you give public-facing healthcare workers the flexibility and mobility they need while maintaining compliance with security requirements?
These challenges become even greater if you support personal devices as part of a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program.
For example, studies show that the vast majority of physicians use smartphones for work. And media reports cite increasing numbers of healthcare systems that permit the use of personal devices by healthcare professionals.
Maintaining easily managed, auditable security and privacy for these communications by your increasingly mobile workforce is paramount.
