With all the recent headlines of data and privacy breaches, it is more relevant than ever to use secure platforms when conducting business in the healthcare sector. This is especially important when you are storing private patient information, particularly while communicating through any media platform. Data is said to be the new oil, since it fuels technological and overall company development. Therefore it is getting harder than ever to protect your private information.
Facebook released a public statement in which they noted they believe nearly all of their 2.2 billion users have had their data scraped in one way or another from an outside source. In this day and age people want easier access to everything, including healthcare and ways to contact their healthcare professionals. This however may lead some to using insecure networks in order to fulfill patient wishes.
If you are interested in transitioning your practice into the telehealth sector it is vital to be sure the platform you are using is HIPAA compliant. Using Skype or FaceTime to consult with patients is an insecure form of communication, which can then lead to breaches in confidentiality.
