Why health systems are aligning IT and biomed departments

A study by Frost & Sullivan suggests that bridging the gap between IT and biomedical departments would improve security of patient monitoring networks. The study found that 80% of panelists focused on medical device maintenance, while all respondents agreed that maintaining device uptime and connectivity was important. Building this bridge is seen as a critical step in reducing the risk of network outages. The report also highlights the need for proactive monitoring and investment in healthcare security.
