Healthcare Industry Needs More Cybersecurity Professional

Under The Microscope

The healthcare industry finds itself under the microscope for serious cybersecurity risks. Health consumer data has been the top target of data breaches for years, and in 2015 approximately one-third of all data theft occurred in healthcare.

Top talent in cybersecurity gravitates toward tech and finance industries, leaving healthcare employers lacking in human resources. Tech Republic explains the cybersecurity worker shortage:

  • 4 out of 5 cybersecurity jobs require both a bachelor’s degree and three years of experience.
  • In addition to IT skill sets, cybersecurity requires accounting and finance knowledge.
  • HIPAA and other regulations make the job description even more unique.
  • Cybersecurity demand has outpaced the talent supply in recent years, with jobs more than doubling since 2010.

Leveraging Technology for Your Healthcare Business

The health sector has vastly benefited from tech including telemedicine and electronic records. Making use of emerging tech requires a shift in personnel and expenses, however. Especially considering the enormous risks associated with being liable for a consumer data breach.

Most healthcare businesses need to shift additional resources toward IT and cybersecurity. One source of cost cutting: reducing operations expenses.

Powered hospital carts are a great example of a reasonable investment that boosts efficiency and potentially reduces labor costs. Nurses and janitors can use powered hospital carts to perform daily tasks more quickly.

Automated linen carts and medical equipment movers also reduce the risk of workers compensation claims and time lost due to injury, thanks to a reduction in repetitive stressful tasks.

Investing in Medical

Infrastructure upgrades represent the biggest area of need for healthcare expansion in India, and the government there is committing major investments in 2016 and beyond. The country plans to expand health facilities in small and mid-tier cities to meet rapidly growing demand — and also become an international destination for healthcare in Asia.

The push by Indian officials highlights the importance of investing in hospital equipment. The country needs more infrastructure to provide basic care in an enhanced environment complete with medical data tracking, patient discharge services, and other markers of modern medicine.

Just as health providers in the US seek to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, Indian hospitals will seek to become a “hub” of healthcare for its region.

Advanced Technology Driving Success in Healthcare

At DJ Products, we know how advanced equipment can propel a hospital’s quality of care with improved service and efficiency. Our powered hospital carts replace the labor manually pushing linen and equipment carts. The repetitive tasks lead to chronic aches and pains for employees, lost time due to injuries, slow rounds, and ultimately higher costs.

Powered hospital carts reduce costs and improve care by making it easier for fewer employees to complete their regular tasks.

Whether your healthcare facility prioritizes cost reductions, personalized care, or even health tourism, the right equipment enables your goals. We offer powered hospital carts including linen carts, platform caddies, dialysis cart movers, and more.
