From the May 2018 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
Medical devices represent one of the most vulnerable attack surfaces for today’s cyber criminals. Bridge-building between clinical engineering, IT and security teams is necessary to mitigate these risks. These efforts cannot derive any meaningful outcomes without modern cloud computing. Using the cloud, all three teams work together to optimize onboarding and create a single source for capturing all required data elements for properly managing a connected medical device’s cybersecurity profile.
Adoption of a flexible, mobile, cloud-based platform will deliver better work order management, patient care, safety and productivity. The health care systems will gain security, efficiency, mobility and of course, increased patient satisfaction. Properly deployed, a modern cloud platform lowers capital and operating expenses and facilitates new investment and transformation for the health care system.
The time to get rid of legacy CMMS systems is now.
