Privacy & Security

Cybercriminals have become increasingly sophisticated and now have the same skills, tools, and services as company IT teams — including the ability to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to create attacks that adapt to your mitigation efforts.

Cybercriminals have developed an industrialized attack lifecycle where application exploits and credential attacks are automated and weaponized. A successful data breach can net huge paydays for attackers, especially when healthcare data is at stake.

To ensure continuity of patient care, optimal patient outcomes and timely, full reimbursement, healthcare providers need current, accurate data – and technology that streamlines workflows and supports employee retention. Healthcare providers have long relied on fax technology to achieve these key goals; at the same time, they are also using other avenues of data transmission to enter clinical documents into their workflows. To bridge this gap, providers need a secure fax solution that can interact with other technologies within their data stream and offer interoperability so that data can flow easily to and from outside locations, such as EHRs, health information exchanges and other databases. A cloud-based solution with robust AI and analytical capabilities like Concord’s Cloud Fax, designed to enhance productivity while protecting data and strengthening information usage, can meet all of those goals.

Healthcare organizations are barraged with volumes of patient data, and often struggle with managing that much information. In addition, many providers still rely on paper to generate prior authorizations, referrals, prescriptions and other documents. This can lead to inefficient use of staff resources, slow patient care and delayed reimbursement from insurers, Medicare and Medicaid. Closing the gap between paper processes and fully automated digital workflows doesn’t have to be complicated. Concord’s customizable, AI-enabled solutions can build a bridge to better information flow, storage and usage – improving both efficiency and patient outcomes.

Financial decision support systems for healthcare organizations generally use cost accounting, a process designed to give providers insights into the cost of care and the margins of the services they provide. With the adoption of EHRs, providers are seeking cloud-based cost accounting and decision support applications that are easier to scale, deploy and support.

Healthcare is the biggest industry in our nation’s economy, with more than $4 trillion in annual spending. Therefore, understanding the financial health of healthcare is more important than ever. At the Annual JP Morgan Health Care Conference, leaders from 20 prominent health systems, representing nearly $250 billion in collective annual spend, shared their top strategies.

Many hospitals and health systems are finding themselves stuck with a decision support application that no longer meets their needs. When looking for a new solution, five important factors to consider are service levels, functionality, a unified platform, guarantees of success and the vendor’s financial security.

Explore how health organizations can innovate to support this hybrid healthcare delivery model with customer examples of key use cases such as appointment management, virtual visits, patient education, and remote patient monitoring.

With more hackers than ever targeting healthcare organizations to get access to patient data, healthcare IT professionals need a complete and accurate inventory of all devices on their network. In an increasingly complex environment, knowing not only how many devices are connected to your network, but also what applications they’re running, is vital. Automation like that offered by RedSeal solutions makes it possible to achieve a clear understanding of what your network is – and what’s on it – in order to keep patient data safe.

With the door now opened for medical data to be weaponized, HIPAA protections are insufficient for current times.
