Technology is now a critical component of the healthcare industry, improving patient outcomes and protecting sensitive personal information. Healthcare providers cannot afford tech-related disruptions, miscalculations, or vulnerabilities that expose them to legal, financial, and reputational damage. A proven managed IT services partner with an expert team and resources to help hospitals, clinics, and doctors’ offices leverage technology can support these providers in delivering the highest quality patient care.

Tech-Related Challenges Faced by Healthcare Providers

Healthcare providers face an array of tech-related challenges that can compromise patient care, data security, and organizational resilience. Strict compliance mandates, human error, cyber threats, and insider risks pose significant obstacles to delivering first-class care. Providers that don’t take steps now to adequately address these issues are potentially exposing themselves to legal repercussions, financial losses, and reputational harm.

The most common tech-related challenges confronting the healthcare industry include:

• AI and other emerging technologies – As more healthcare providers adopt AI, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and other technologies, novel vulnerabilities and skill gaps emerge that require proactive risk mitigation.
• Compliance complexities – Providers must adhere to industry regulations like HIPAA, which govern patient data privacy and security. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and lawsuits.
• Cyber threats – Hospitals and medical practices are the number-one targets for ransomware, malware, and other cyberattacks that can cripple operations and compromise data.
• Human error risks – Staff mistakes, from mishandling sensitive data to improperly using systems, can lead to serious data breaches. Outdated software, hardware, and legacy systems exacerbate these risks.
• Insider threats – Rogue employees, partners, and third-party vendors with malicious intent pose dangers of data theft, sabotage, or unauthorized system access, as well as exposing providers to HIPAA violations.

Hospitals, clinics, and doctors’ offices without a high level of cyber resilience, including security measures, reliable secure backup and recovery capabilities, and stringent access controls, leave themselves open to crippling attacks. It’s now-or-never time for these and other healthcare providers to reimagine and rebuild their IT practices and postures to ensure they don’t suffer severe consequences that jeopardize their operations and the patients they serve.
