How Modernising Data Management Strengthens EHR Security

While it might be just one sub-area of the vast landscape that is healthcare data, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are a vital part of the healthcare system. Implemented well, they enable every healthcare organization involved in an individual’s care to see at a glance key information.

A ransomware attack, which effectively cuts off access to EHRs, can completely dismantle a healthcare organization’s ability to do its job. Without access to patient data, it can’t serve the patient.

Backup systems can be low in the pecking order when finances are scarce, with the priority given to live systems. But backups are live too. And they can play a central role in modern compliance requirements.

Being confident that an organization can get back up and running quickly with the most up-to-date information restored after an issue is vital, and in healthcare, lives can depend on it.
