Industry guide
Managed IT diligence for home health & hospice.
Agencies hold patient records accessed from the field on phones, tablets, and laptops that leave the building every day. The entire workforce is mobile, so lost and stolen devices are the breach scenario, and device encryption, remote wipe, and access control are the safeguards that decide whether a lost tablet is an incident or a catastrophe.
