Security Implications of BYOD in Health Care

An Article from Optum

This article from Optum provides a breakdown on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy considerations based on the mix of devices your organization is trying to support, the size of your healthcare organization and implementation factors that may have an impact on success.

From the article introduction: "Technology is reshaping how health care operates, requiring new approaches to information and cyber security. Advancements in mobile technologies provide physicians and nurses with new tools to deliver care and stay connected to patients outside of the four walls of a hospital or clinic. In addition to clinicians, administrators and patients are also demanding remote access to medical and financial records, often using their own devices.

Mobile capabilities can enhance how clinicians deliver care, patients experience care, and administrators support operations. However, increased mobility, the Internet of Things (IoT), and bring your own device (BYOD) can also expose an organization to new vulnerabilities across the technology environment, especially at endpoints. Hospitals and health systems must be able to balance all end-user needs and expectations when adopting mobile, BYOD, and other digital capabilities. "
