"Healthcare organizations have significantly more to consider than the average business when it comes to network and device security. Concern over code modification, key compromise, password-based vulnerabilities and man-in-the-middle attacks have caused hospital CIOs and CISOs to rethink their security strategies and investments. The threat to these devices has even been assigned its own term: medjacking, a shortened form of “medical device hijacking.” Download this white paper for five best practices to mitigate threat and attacks that can put lives, patient trust and the growth of the healthcare organization at risk.

A new mantra is emerging for IT professionals – Quality of Experience (QoE). In order to align monitoring and management practices with the true demands of the business, IT professionals must expand beyond traditional comfort zones of watching network and system health metrics to begin measuring and understanding the experience IT end users are having. Join EMA Vice President of Research, Jim Frey, and Fluke Networks Director of Products, Doug Roberts, for this on-demand webinar and discussion that will reveal:

Traditional overhead paging technology has evolved into advanced network-based paging systems. Examine industry trends that drive the need for a future-proof, critical paging system for today's healthcare facilities.

Creating social networks helps motivate employees to participate in your health and wellness programs. And the more employees engage with your programs, the greater the impact.

As explored in this paper, the SAS Fraud Framework supports a complete, modular, enterprise-level program integrity solution that helps payers prevent, detect and manage fraud, waste and abuse across all silos and lines of business. Its fully integrated components offer both top-down and bottom-up functionality for exposing hidden and risky networks. This approach gives payers enhanced detection capabilities, greater insight into case management and improved operational efficiency while decreasing overall cost of ownership. The result is highly effective, early, and even preventative detection of fraud, waste, abuse and corruption that improves operational efficiency and reduces health care costs.

Healthcare providers are starting to realize that using electronic communication, collaboration, and social networks to keep in touch with each other and with patients can improve the quality of care they provide. However, it also exposes them to risk since the information they share on these networks has to be protected in order to meet specific regulatory guidelines, like those mandated by HIPAA. The prescription for success is to consider compliant use of these networks before and while they are being used and the technology that helps achieve that goal.

Solving critical healthcare IT challenges with software-defined networkingDigitization is changing healthcare forever as organizations look to deliver better quality services, improve patient safety and provide the highest levels of security. Healthcare IT leaders should look to leverage a software-defined network. Read the latest from ZK Research to learn more.

The network has never been as critical to the healthcare sector as it is today. Electronic health records, Wi-Fi-connected medical devices, and clinician smart phones are among a plethora of healthcare technologies that depend on a stable network. The consistent development of this infrastructure is key for the healthcare sector to continue its successes in creating new possibilities for management, patient and family experience, and patient outcomes. Extreme Networks posed key questions to Nolan Greene, a senior research analyst with IDC’s Network Infrastructure group, who highlights the critical issues healthcare IT professionals must consider when building a network that maintains industry needs.

With its skilled nursing facilities located in remote areas of a state known for its unpredictable and sometimes violent weather, Texas-based Creative Solutions in Healthcare (CSNH) was suffering more than its share of network interruptions. According to CIO & CISO Shawn Wiora, the company was losing network connectivity multiple times each week. This downtime not only disrupted business continuity, but was bad for morale among both the company’s IT workers and its care-delivery staff. Creative Solutions in Healthcare wanted a network connectivity solution capable of delivering highly secure, uninterrupted, and centrally managed service.

The term “network management” encompasses a broad range of solutions from single point products to element managers to large enterprise-class solutions. For the purpose of this ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES® (EMA™) report, the term Enterprise Network Management Systems (ENMS) includes network-centric management solutions that are used by large organizations’ operations and engineering teams to discover, monitor, assess, troubleshoot, and generally maintain highly distributed enterprise networks. For this EMA™ Radar, the focus was put specifically on core capabilities and features primarily associated with network operations’ need to ensure health and availability of the network. Supporting functional capabilities such as performance monitoring, configuration management, asset management, as well as integrated management of connected non-network devices were also considered, but as non-critical (albeit helpful/valuable) extensions.

To support ongoing expansion and transformation, the Froedtert & MCW health network needed to boost system performance and upgrade its electronic health record software. The organization migrated to IBM® FlashSystem® and IBM Power® E870, which helped them increase their storage density by 22x and reduced cut in read-time for EHR databases by 50%.

As the healthcare industry continues to move forward into an age of big data, optimization, and greater coordination of care through the capabilities of better networking technologies, opportunities have never been greater to use technology to truly improve how healthcare professionals interacts with patients. However, growing dependence on your network for everything from medical records to billing information can also mean that healthcare networks hold greater amounts of data than ever before. This makes them a tempting target for hackers.
