Information Technology (IT) has transformed the way modern healthcare systems acquire, store, access and communicate medical information. While these developments offer significant benefits to patients and healthcare providers alike, they have also created whole new areas of concern for patients and doctors. As more of your data gets stored electronically, the reliability of your computer systems has become more and more vital.
Most modern doctors offices are brought to their knees when their computers aren't functional. Failure of IT systems is no longer just a significant inconvenience, it more often than not means work stops until the systems are back up. Viruses, trojans, spyware, worms, malware, phishing, intrusion, or attacks, the list of threats to systems these days are long, and the tools and techniques to mitigate these risks are varied and complex. Going at it alone is no longer an option for medical professionals.
To complicate matters, regulations and enforcement related to the protection of personal patient data are on the rise. Selecting the right IT support provider has never been more critical.
