New Delhi, December 30, : , Nearly 30% of healthcare providers experienced instances where employees had compromised customer personal data during remote consultations.This was revealed in a report released Thursday.Almost half of all providers also believe their doctors don’t understand the privacy implications for patients’ data.
According to Kaspersky researchers, 67% of respondents believe that it’s important for healthcare to gather more personal data to support industry development.
The recent digital revolution has increased medical provider responsibility.Researchers surveyed global healthcare decision-makers to find out how they are dealing with security issues related to telehealth.
Only 17 percent of respondents believed that remote healthcare professionals had a clear understanding of how patients’ personal data was protected.
Researchers stated that “this is despite 70% of the medical organizations having dedicated IT security awareness training.”
Prof Chengyi Lin is an Affiliate Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, a top expert in digital transformation.He says that to speed up the evolution of digital healthcare, it’s essential to manage, curate and govern sensitive data.
This information can also be valuable for individuals as well as the healthcare system in order to increase outcomes and decrease costs.Chengyi stated that big data has already shown promising results in clinical trials design, reducing costs and time.
Respondents admit to nearly 54 percent that their doctors use telehealth apps such as FaceTime and Facebook Messenger.
The more critical and complex technology becomes, the greater awareness that people working with it must have.
This is especially important as the healthcare sector enters the digital age and faces increasing privacy and security issues,” said Denis Barinov (Head of Kaspersky Academy).
Doctors consider data collection to be one of the most critical aspects of medical technology innovation, even though there are difficulties in ensuring data safety.
Nearly seven out of ten (67%) respondents agreed that industry must collect more personal data than it currently holds to train AI and provide reliable diagnoses.
