HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

Web 2.0 is profoundly changing the way we work and interact. More than 90 of the top 100 Web sites are categorized as social networking or search sites, supporting dynamic or user-generated content. Many organizations are embracing the Web as a business platform, but Web 2.0 technologies, such as blogs, wikis, social networking sites, and RSS feeds, render traditional security technologies such as antivirus, Web reputation, and basic URL filtering ineffective.
Confidential information abounds in healthcare, so healthcare providers must ensure that their records are easy and efficient to obtain, yet secure from unauthorized access.
