eProtex helps healthcare providers achieve greater patient data security and HIPAA compliance by countering the hidden risks of connected medical devices.
From surgical lights to CT scanners, IV pumps and smart beds, today’s hospital rooms and lab coats carry 3–4 times more medical devices than traditional IT devices — all collecting, storing and feeding electronic protected health information (ePHI) into the hospital’s IT network. With traditional IT and clinical engineering departments unable to discern how these devices impact the IT network and vice versa, it’s no wonder independent audits routinely expose medical devices as common blind spots and potential springboard for HIPAA violations. As one respected health IT authority points out, “We’re looking at HIPAA risk, malware risk, and malfunction risk with direct patient ramifications.”
That’s where eProtex comes in, with a cross-functional team of clinical engineering, IT and HIPAA experts who understand how your health IT network, connected devices and HIPAA requirements all impact one another.
Developed for and out of the healthcare community, eProtex solutions have been adopted by nearly 100 hospitals in the U.S.
