The Digitalization of Patient Care
The digitization of healthcare has been a powerful tool in creating better, faster, and more complete care for patients. Today’s technology enables patients and providers to more easily view and share health records, eliminate duplicate tests, improve the overall care experience, and reduce time spent on administrative duties. However, as advantageous as digitization has been for patients and healthcare professionals, it also creates a greater risk of data and access-related breaches.
This is a particularly daunting challenge for the healthcare industry. Healthcare organizations, including hospitals, utilize a large and diverse number of third parties, from students to doctors and even bots to support their goal of creating a market-leading patient experience routed in satisfaction, safety, and privacy. The number and variety of third parties utilized by healthcare organizations can be limitless and unfortunately, third parties are very risky.
In many cases, healthcare organizations don’t have purpose-built systems in place to centrally track and manage their relationships with this growing number of third parties and the access to facilities, systems, and patient data they require. As a result, many users are provided with more access than needed for their roles and access is frequently not terminated in a timely manner. Both of which can unwittingly expose sensitive health information and also create additional access points for hackers.
