Human-directed and naturally occurring events are becoming more frequent and intense, and can threaten a health system’s ability to maintain continuity of care. These sequences can increase the likelihood of a substantial disruption to a healthcare organization’s operational technology and critical infrastructure.
The automatic and programmatic delivery of modern OT and critical infrastructure presents another concern. Systems such as power,...
Health systems are reimagining their facilities with smart hospital technology to boost patient care and improve provider efficiency.
Smart hospitals are connected technologies that deliver real-time analytical insights to improve patient care. These technologies include artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and smart sensors.
“It basically means giving the infrastructure of the hospital the same sensory capabilities that doctors and nurses...
Digital health tools can give clinicians insights at their fingertips, but cumbersome workflows for login and access often lead to frustration. In recent years, hospitals and health systems have embraced the agility of single sign-on technology to let users sign in once and, upon authentication, gain access to all of the applications they’re authorized to use.
The flexibility and agility...
Microsoft will end its support of Windows 10 on Oct. 14. While the operating system will still function, it will no longer receive security updates or fixes. With a full Windows 11 migration likely requiring several months to complete, healthcare organizations not currently planning to upgrade may take on more cybersecurity risk come October than organizations that have been...
Mobile devices are helping healthcare organizations improve patient care, optimize workflows and enhance staff efficiency.
One of the most critical aspects of this digital transformation is real-time access to patient data to enable better decision-making and reduce workflow bottlenecks.
Zebra Technologies’ advanced mobile computing solutions are equipping healthcare providers with tools to assist with tracking patient flow, accessing real-time patient information...
Healthcare’s workforce shortage issues continue to be a major topic of discussion at annual industry events such as ViVE and HIMSS.
The Association of American Medical Colleges projects that by 2036, there will be a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians. The need for physicians is fueled by several factors, including the number of physicians nearing retirement age and leaving...
The healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rapid adoption of digital technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine and artificial intelligence (AI). While these innovations enhance patient care and operational efficiency, they also expose the sector to significant cybersecurity risks, particularly ransomware attacks and business email compromise.
As cybercriminals increasingly target healthcare institutions, it’s important...
