How Can You Improve Your Medical Imaging Solutions With Cloud Technology
Compliance will always be a topic that prompts discussion throughout the healthcare industry, and it will be a big part of 2018. Data analytics, telehealth, cybersecurity, teleradiology, SaaS models and health and human services guidance are all on the table. Cloud technology, once thought to be a weak point for cybersecurity, is now leading the charge in finding proactive and reactive ways to deal with threats. The best vendors continue to improve disaster recovery and business continuity solutions.
HIPAA compliance in the public cloud is often compromised by data leakage from some highly used and recommended, yet sometimes highly vulnerable applications. However, working with the right cloud technology provider can shore up some of these weak areas and tighten security so that your risk of violating a HIPAA compliance rule will be low.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has worked itself into a variety of healthcare solutions. Machine learning is providing innovative ways to get more out of your data. Cloud-based technology can also be highly intuitive for users, allowing them new ways to improve their workflow, productivity and patient care.
Has your organization put any time or money investment into your clinical decision support to multiple endpoints and SMART on FHIR applications? New APIs are being developed to improve outpatient encounters.
More and more systems, including some of the biggest, are developing case studies to show how their journey to cloud-based solutions has improved their processes. Digitization isn’t without its complexities, which is why it pays to have an experienced third party there to assist. The journey to the cloud pays off in that it can improve worker productivity and provide industry-leading tools, including self-service tools, which can drive improvements across the board.
Disaster recovery, as important as everyone knows it to be, is still on the back burner for many organizations. They’re putting themselves and their patients at risk by not making a solid strategy in this arena. The process, policies and procedures related to preparing for the worst while maintaining business as usual needs to be a priority in 2018.
