This IDC white paper examines the drivers behind the adoption of IoT technologies by public services organizations and why the IoT is becoming a key investment priority. Public services are comprised of a diverse set of organizations, including federal, regional and local governments and healthcare and social services providers. These all have mandates to improve the safety, health and quality of life of their constituents across a broad range of programs. This paper also provides market insights and describes examples of IoT implementations that highlight the diversity of scenarios in the public service sector. These diverse scenarios illustrate the impact IoT solutions can have across many citizen-centric
services.
Nowhere is technology more important than in healthcare, where the integrity of devices, systems, and infrastructure ultimately impacts patient lives. When evaluating existing technologies or considering investment in new solutions, there are a number of key factors healthcare entities must take into account. With this checklist, we’ll help you:
– Identify common demands
– Get an easy-to-use technology evaluation checklist
– See an example of how to apply new technology solutions
Symantec Health asked Healthcare CIOs if cloud archiving translated into a good night’s sleep, freeing them from worrying if their people were good stewards of patient and corporate data. We found that healthcare was catching up with other industries, who reported a 320% increase over the last nine months in those that are testing or planning to implement cloud computing.
In today’s highly competitive healthcare industry, businesses are looking for the best possible healthcare partner and sometimes this can be a difficult and costly challenge. Healthcare costs have been drastically rising and Houston-based clients are looking for a cheaper solution to their needs. Find out how Memorial Hermann can help you lower costs and reduce risk while offering the same or more health benefits.
Healthcare workers understand the complexity of fighting infections better than most. As medications are developed, germs evolve and become resistant to those medications. Over time, germs become incredibly complex and difficult to treat as they continue to evolve and adapt. Unfortunately, computer viruses seem to be following a similar pattern—and the healthcare industry is struggling to catch up.
Discover a wide variety of DDoS solutions that you can leverage to protect your patients, your staff and your business.
As a medical facility Associates in Rehabilitation Medicine collects and stores patient data electronically. Although the company used SonicWall to protect their network, they were concerned about shielding this confidential and private information from possible hackers. Astaro now ensures that the network is running smoothly and the entire organization has become more productive through content filtering.
Find out how companies have deployed remote access SSL VPNs to increase remote user satisfaction, improve accessibility to corporate resources, support business continuity planning, and reduce overall implementation and ongoing management costs. The white paper also covers how cloud-based SSL VPN services address high availability requirements, support unforeseen spikes in activity and optimize network performance. Lastly, learn how a single SSL VPN platform can support all your mobile access, telecommuting and partner extranet requirements to improve your ROI.
The goal of any healthcare organization is to help patients
live happier, healthier lives. However, healthcare facilities must
also keep patients and staff safe within those environments
of healing — and as healthcare assaults continue to rise,
this task is becoming more difficult every year.
Assaults occur in healthcare facilities for a number of reasons:
- Altered Mental States
- Opioid addiction or withdrawal
- Patient anger related to finances, diagnosis, or treatment
- Lack of available beds for mental health
- Active shooters, knife threats, or other violent intruders
Workplace assaults are serious, and they happen frequently too. This whitepaper examines the solutions to the challenges that is healthcare security.
Data is the DNA of modern healthcare. As healthcare technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and patient data management and security evolve, emerging approaches for disease treatment and prevention—like precision medicine and healthcare content management—are becoming more necessary. Precision medicine is about moving from generic to more precise, population-focused diagnostics and treatment by factoring in data from patients’ genes, environment, lifestyle factors and family history, into clinical decision-making for earlier, more accurate diagnoses, and more effective treatment and prevention. Data is at the heart of enabling doctors and scientists to execute on this mission. Additionally, rapidly changing regulations throughout the world are affecting the management of all healthcare data. Infinidat removes data management barriers from this level of data interaction by removing isolated islands of storage and allowing much more data to reside on a single, high-performance, highly available platform.
Safety testing for robotically assisted surgical equipment and systems
Robotics today is playing a major role in efforts to bring innovative patient treatments to the healthcare industry. Robotically assisted equipment and systems are now being widely used in advanced surgical procedures, helping to reduce complications and improve overall surgical outcomes.
In this UL white paper, we’ll summarize the key aspects of this important standard and provide information on the anticipated adoption of the standard by regulators.
Topic covered will include:
- The state of healthcare robotics
- Safety issues
- IEC 80601-2-11
