BYOR: Bring Your Own Risk: Protecting PHI Information on Mobile Devices
Presenter: Axel Wirth, Symantec Healthcare Solutions Architect
In today’s healthcare environment, mHealth is more about managing data and applications than devices. For example, new regulations require you to offer and utilize means of electronic patient engagement. As a consequence, patients will be sharing information with your clinical staff - - and you don’t know which devices they are using, how and from where they access, or what they might decide to share. At the same time, staff adoption of mobile technology will require a number of tough compliance problems to be solved, for example that all clinicians are using the same and most recent release of mobile apps for medico-legal reasons. You may not be able to manage the devices but you must manage the apps and protect the data.
This session will review the challenges healthcare organizations are facing when implementing their mHealth strategy. We will discuss what approaches and technologies are available to help you meet these challenges.
