Cybersecurity has emerged as one of the hottest issues in the healthcare industry today. What used to be a problem primarily for the IT department is now an issue among all levels of healthcare professionals, ranging from clinicians to executives.
So when the healthcare industry gathers in Chicago April 12 to 16 for the 2015 HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition, one of the most comprehensive conferences in the healthcare industry, attendees will be looking for the most secure and cost-effective methods of storing and transmitting sensitive patient and customer information.
