Practice 03 / Clinical continuity
Healthcare IT & Clinical System Defense
Protect the work that happens in the exam room.
The operational risk
Protect the work that happens in the exam room.
Clinical work can depend on a billing connection, an outside support account or a device network that nobody included in the recovery plan.
“It is hosted in a compliant cloud.”
Make the responsibility visible.
Hosting assurances do not answer who configures access, documents responsibilities, handles a downtime workflow or coordinates a response.
