Industry Trends

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of technology in the Healthcare industry resulting in making communication easier, aiding the decision-making process, and helping achieve a higher quality of patient care. However, all of the benefits of healthcare technology through these healthcare solutions will be lost if the availability, integrity and confidentiality of patient data is compromised. Since HIPAA was enacted in 1996, regulatory compliance has been a front-burner issue in the Healthcare industry.

Failing to comply with the stipulated regulations could bring the risk of fines, jail and lawsuits that can impact individuals or corporate entities, and have a negative impact on brand image. While the regulations are nothing new, companies are starting to see tighter scrutiny resulting in increased focus on regulatory compliance.
