• 3 Cloud Security Trends And Challenges You Need To Be Aware Of

  4/19/2017

  As more healthcare organizations implement mobile devices and increase their digital storage options, cloud is likely to become a core technology for the healthcare industry. Indeed, cloud options such as cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) can address the key needs of medical organizations: facilitating mobility and providing patients with faster and more efficient care.

  Contrary to popular belief, pharmaceutical companies are not solely responsible for the opioid crisis we’re now experiencing. Physicians are also to blame. Pharmas tell us that only 1 in 1,000 patients become addicted to opioids, so don’t fear them. Meanwhile, physicians are naturally and understandably patient-focused, so their primary concern has always been to do whatever they can to relieve a patient’s pain in the most effective manner possible.
