  • The legal requirements for digital patients

    When using digital platforms to engage patients, customers and suppliers within the healthcare sector, what legal requirements are there and how can they be mitigated?

    That is the question we try to answer below giving special attention to traditional pen paper & pen recording systems, LAN's (Local Area Networks) and cloud based systems. Sounds technical, but it really isn't...

  • Data security and privacy:

    Ensuring that patient data is protected and kept private is one of the key legal responsibilities in the healthcare sector. Encryption and multi-factor authentication are only two of the strong security measures that a safe cloud-based system provides to safeguard patient data from intrusions and unwanted access. Paper-based and LAN-based systems, on the other hand, are more prone to data breaches and might not adhere to laws like HIPAA, POPI, GDPR and other similar Personal Privacy Acts. 

    Regulation compliance:

    Cloud-based systems are made to abide by a number of laws, including HIPAA, which establishes requirements for the protection of patient data. While paper-based systems and LAN-based systems might not be able to keep up with the changing legislation, these systems are regularly updated to guarantee that they fulfill the most recent compliance requirements.

    Accessibility:

    Cloud-based systems enable remote access to patient data, which is extremely advantageous for both patients and healthcare professionals. In an emergency or when patients are unable to visit the clinic, providers can access patient data from any location. In order to manage their health more effectively, patients can also access their own data.

    Scalability:

    As healthcare organizations expand, so do their storage and information management needs. A growing number of patients and providers may easily be accommodated by cloud-based solutions because of their high scalability. Paper-based and LAN-based systems, on the other hand, could find it difficult to keep up with the demands of a developing firm.

    In conclusion, when it comes to including patients, clients, and suppliers, secure cloud-based technologies are a superior choice for healthcare firms. These systems provide strong security safeguards, regulatory compliance, accessibility, and scalability. It's crucial to remember that these systems must be properly set up and managed in order to maintain data security and privacy, comply with legislation, and assure compliance. Systems such as CMS/LXP/LMS's can make a significant impact on the operations and bottom line of your company.
