What Health Systems Need to Consider About At-Home Acute Care Security

Healthcare organizations offering at-home acute care need stronger security strategies, including zero-trust policies, leading-edge technology to comply with regulations, and robust cybersecurity mechanisms for hardware and software. Policies must govern the use of all devices, as personal devices often pose a breach risk. Educating employees and patients about malware, ransomware, and phishing is essential, along with maintaining up-to-date software and implementing strong access controls. The importance of strict record keeping and security practices should be emphasized, with a focus on an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
