Healthcare organizations often have a combination of legacy and new applications running on disparate proprietary networks, which can create interoperability, visibility, and security issues. Such chaos can challenge an organization’s ability to securely access and exchange patient information.
However, healthcare providers face many challenges in their adoption of technology and must strike a difficult balance.
This problem is especially difficult to solve because most healthcare providers have a combination of legacy and new applications running on disparate proprietary networks which causes 3 main challenges:
Such chaos can make it difficult for IT teams to support real-time and resource intensive solutions such as digital imaging and electronic health records (EHRs) at the point of care, as well as provide telemedicine and other productivity-enhancing technologies that can help improve patient care and address the chronic shortage of healthcare professionals.
