From EMR to HIPAA compliance, get the network and data security you need

  • Industry Challenges

    Healthcare organizations are facing some of the most difficult challenges in information technology today. Perhaps more than any other industry sector, healthcare professionals must adapt to a rapidly changing landscape on multiple fronts:

    • Data growth rates
    • HIPAA compliance
    • Budgetary limitations
    • Long-term archiving
    "The government isn't forcing doctors and other providers to make the switch [to EMR]. But if they don't, Medicare will begin deducting 1% of their payments in 2015. The penalty rises each year to a maximum of 5% in 2019."
