Securing Health Data

As mentioned before, RPM must follow all the regulations of HIPPA as it ultimately contains all the patient's health information, which is why it is crucial that both patients and healthcare providers feel like they are given the same level of confidentiality, integrity, and availability as they would in person.

While technology does have its benefits, it can also have its downfalls. Ensuring that all patient health data is securely encrypted and inaccessible by unauthorized access is critical. Failure to securely encrypt patient information could violate HIPPA law, which protects sensitive patient health information. All RPM devices and healthcare systems should be strongly encrypted, and there should be a 24/7 IT team just in case something happens because technology can sometimes fail.
