Telehealth
Telehealth has become a necessity in the healthcare industry. Telehealth involves physicians giving remote patient care. This greatly helps in curbing the spread of the coronavirus and protects patients with underlying conditions. With telehealth, physicians can monitor their patient’s vitals, offer prescriptions, to mention but a few. Telehealth will allow doctors to continue offering remote care even after the pandemic passes.
Cybersecurity
Patient information is very vital and should be confidential. Most hospitals use cloud-based telehealth software to store patient information, including prescriptions and diagnoses. However, hackers with malicious intentions have found a way to hack and expose this vital information. In light of this, the healthcare sector has strengthened its cybersecurity. Hospitals have invested heavily in cybersecurity to ensure the safety of their records.
