Mobile Devices in Healthcare
With the rapid adoption in both corporately sanctioned and organic BYOD (bring your own device) of mobile devices by healthcare practitioners – the healthcare industry is perhaps the industry that is most in need of a simple and secure mobile device management solution. Hospitals, local practices, and GP Cooperatives are embracing the many benefits that mobile devices like iPads can bring in both operational efficiency and accuracy at such a rapid rate that the security and privacy dangers tend to be completely overlooked.
The healthcare industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries when it comes to the data that is created, transmitted, and stored. A robust Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution monitors and enforces real-time data security, which is critical to any HIPAA compliant organization.
