The healthcare industry continues to face a multitude of challenges. Breaches are widely observed in the healthcare sector and can be caused by many different types of incidents. These incidents involve credential-stealing malware, an insider who either purposefully or accidentally discloses patient data, or involve lost laptops or/and other devices. As healthcare possesses millions of private patient records today, data security is a major challenge which needs to be addressed promptly.
Additionally, other key challenges the healthcare sector is facing are prescription abuse and hospital-acquired infection. These pain points are creating havoc in the industry which leads to fraud, prescribing errors and reduction in care quality. Witnessing such circumstances, healthcare institutes and organizations are turning to technologies for the ideal solution.
