Endpoint Data Protection - A Top Concern for Healthcare Providers

Abstract: While automation in healthcare has been limited relative to other industries, in recent years the use of information technology and the electronic exchange of sensitive patient data are increasing. Ample evidence exists to show that great forward strides in healthcare efficiency and quality can be realized through automation - especially when it is supported by a national health information technology infrastructure that allows for the secure electronic use and exchange of information. This approach to managing patient data will foster collaboration among physicians, staff, and patients, and is currently being developed with legislation and funding under the 2009 stimulus package (ARRA).
