What’s the store for future of healthcare? While we might not be able to predict everything that’s coming, we do know that technology will be a part of it.
By 2021, it is predicted that one in three surgeries here in the US will be performed with robotic systems.
Innovation doesn’t always come from the top down. Your best ideas won’t always come from the C-people in your organization. That’s why many businesses are no longer thinking about growth in terms of people they can feed into the hierarchy and add to the team.
No matter where you are in the world, natural disasters are no longer a “once in a lifetime” event. They seem to be coming with more frequency. Hurricanes. Typhons. Tornados. Earthquakes. Flooding. Fire.
While your area may be relatively safe from these damaging events, your business may still be at risk.
In some industries, policies and procedures matter more than others. Healthcare is one of those industries.
We all need ways to track policies and procedures to ensure they are met, and have standards and enforcement methods to ensure proper action is taken.
Doctors often prepare for the worst. No matter what field they are in, or where they are located, bad things happen. Simple procedures can turn complex. Nature can turn from calm to catastrophic in minutes.
A few bandaids can’t provide you with the tools you need to save lives.
Imagine a world without paper. Where everything in your office is handled electronically; no paper will ever be in sight.
Not there yet? You’re not alone. HIPAA laws mandated the move to digital to provide secure handling of medical records. But how do you ensure sensitive data is indeed secure?
We all know that no matter how hard you try, breaches occur.
CIO - that’s a title a lot of medical practices don’t have the resources for. So they rely on piecing together a workable technology system into their practice.
They rely on their own knowledge for selecting useful office systems. They send office managers to training for security and production.
IT is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It’s everywhere. It’s in every profession, every niche, no matter how large or small. It’s necessary for hospitals. It’s necessary for single practitioners trying to operate a one-doctor practice.
Phishing is getting a lot more sophisticated.
A Data Breach Report by Verizon showed that 23 percent of all recipients who received a phishing email opened them, and 11 percent clicked on malicious attachments even after opening and reading these deceptive emails.
It sounds like something straight out of the box office; a cybercriminal is out to get you and your data. Yet it might be more real than you anticipate.
Information is the new currency. As long as you’re producing data, there will be someone who wants it for nefarious reasons.
