The ability to work at home is very flexible, yet when it comes to healthcare workers, there is one big complication, which is patient privacy. What do you do when you are at your kitchen table, and you need to talk about sensitive patient information without violating strict HIPAA regulations?
Normal video calls and messaging applications are not made to be so. Even a chance meeting on a consumer-level platform may unintentionally result in a major compliance problem.
Which Healthcare Remote Tools Fail to Deliver.
It is not the intent of the team to safeguard the data, but the fact that ordinary tools do not provide the required protection. They frequently overlook such important attributes as:
- All communications are encrypted.
- Safe, auditing file sharing.
- Limited access controls in order to reduce only authorized staff accessing the sensitive data.
Such a gap makes it a challenging decision of either risking non-compliance or losing the perks of working remotely.
Collaboration to be secured by a bridge.
It is in this area that a dedicated platform comes in handy. Consider a virtual workspace that is intuitive and modern and yet contains healthcare grade security embedded on its core.
This kind of platform serves as a safe connecting platform where clinicians, administrators and support staff can work anywhere. It is a compound of the mechanisms of everyday productivity such as video calls, messaging, and task management and the ironclad security measures that HIPAA demands.
The Best of Both Worlds
It is not intended to make it more complex. It is to incorporate security in such a manner that it becomes non-hazardous to the extent that those involved are able to concentrate on more pertinent issues like the care of patients. The right solution provides:
- Peace of Mind: Encryption on command and compliance controls.
- Efficiency: One safe point of communication and collaboration.
- Flexibility: The possibility to be efficient anywhere.
Finally, it is about giving healthcare teams the latest tools they require, but they will never forget about their responsibility towards patient privacy.
