How Healthcare IoT Resilience, Efficiency, and Security Impact Hospitals
In today’s digitized hospital environment, the resilience, efficiency, and security of healthcare IoT systems are crucial. Hospitals are increasingly adopting comprehensive IoT architectures to enhance patient care and streamline operations. However, disruptions in power or network connectivity can significantly impact various hospital functions, from admissions and medication dispensing to emergency department operations. Ensuring IT power and network resiliency through predictive maintenance and advanced monitoring platforms is essential to avoid these disruptions and maintain operational efficiency. Additionally, improving energy efficiency and adopting sustainable practices in IT infrastructure can further support hospital operations. Security measures are also vital to protect against environmental threats and unauthorized access, ensuring the safety and integrity of healthcare data and systems.
