Can you maximize efficiency without compromising information security?
Information security should be top of mind for healthcare leaders as identity thieves and cyber criminals are targeting hospitals more than any other industry.
In fact, protected health information (PHI) tops the charts[1] on the black market today. With a whopping 89 percent of healthcare organizations having experienced data breaches[2] over the past two years, it can make hospital administrators want to store sensitive information under lock and key.
With secure point-of-service scanning, you can capture data from the moment it is entered into the system and route it immediately to an electronic health record (EHR) or electronic content management (ECM) system.
Even so, healthcare information must be easily accessible. How can you control communications while facilitating information’s fluidity across the enterprise?
Improve information security and productivity by focusing on three key stages of the data life cycle.
Data capture
According to a recent IDC Health Insights study, 34 percent of hospitals’ information is intangible. With secure point-of-service scanning, you can capture data from the moment it is entered into the system and route it immediately to an electronic health record (EHR) or electronic content management (ECM) system. This can help avoid the misplacement of paper documents, which can lower the risk of document theft or loss. Early data capture also enables workflow automation, which can help boost productivity.
Data storage
Most content management solutions reside in a vendor’s data center. When data stays within the enterprise – not transferred from external servers – you can achieve faster access to information and reduce third-party security and compliance risks.
Improve workflows without compromising information security
