Healthcare Services Solutions
Healthcare IT teams are expected to match the same benchmarks for speed, quality and innovation as other industries, while also facing higher scrutiny and higher costs for data loss. They must navigate confusing and evolving requirements set forth by standards such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Health Information Trust Alliance.
It isn’t just new regulations and mandates that keep health IT departments up at night. Healthcare records are now some of the most valuable records for hackers to steal.
