While the security landscape has changed drastically across all businesses, maybe nowhere has this been felt more acutely than in the healthcare sector. Today, sensitive patient data can easily be stored on mobile devices with access to internal networks—from laptops and USB Drives, to CD’s, DVD’s and SD Memory cards, and even smartphones. While anywhere, anytime access is convenient to patient care, this free-roaming data accessibility poses a serious risk to data security.
In the healthcare industry, “code reds” don’t only occur in the emergency room. Healthcare IT professionals carry a heavy weight on their shoulders when it comes to protecting and managing patient information as it transitions into digital form. If this information is lost or stolen, healthcare organizations will be forced to pay a heavy price in penalties, and possibly—because the data is so vital—lives. In order to protect and manage the data properly, and simultaneously comply with government regulations, healthcare organizations need to implement an effective business continuity plan.

Anatomical Pathology (AP) is undergoing a series of rapid and dramatic changes as new technologies and capabilities arrive to allow pathologists to pursue the same type of dramatic changes that their colleagues in radiology have experienced in the last decade. Advances in image processing, Internet bandwidth capacity, and the declining cost of storage have coalesced to make digital pathology a reality for every day use in the pathology lab.
