Compliance for Healthcare: Protect ePHI and Monitor Video Collaboration

Written by Rosa Lear | Jan 26, 2021 8:05:27 PM

The healthcare industry is rapidly switching to telemedicine, pharma related collaboration, and virtual examination, especially during the pandemic. Video conferencing and collaboration platforms like Zoom are becoming a critical part of core healthcare operations. Telemedicine appointments increased 154% from January to March 2020 because of the pandemic and will continue to be a staple of healthcare into the future.  

As the industry continues to adopt telemedicine and digital- based healthcare to serve remote patients, video conferencing platforms are becoming critical tools for doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Zoom offers simple and secure controls that have fueled its rapid adoption and helped healthcare firms remain productive during the transition to work from anywhere. In addition, it’s critical that these channels are appropriately monitored and supervised to maintain conduct standards and safeguard electronic protected health information (ePHI).

Healthcare organizations need to ensure proper security and compliance controls are in place to maintain conduct standards, prevent leakage of health-related data, and protect healthcare providers and patients.
