Health care in Australia is provided by both private and public organisations. International and local institutions have concluded that the health of a nation is one of the most critical elements that determine its wellbeing, prosperity and the quality of life of its citizens.
The health care sector faces a number of challenges to meet increased demand for its services and operational efficiency. Australia, like other modern industrialised economies, faces the twin health care challenges of an ageing population and increasing health care costs.
For health care providers, security can be a difficult hurdle to deal with. To solve challenges health care providers are applying technology in new ways to deliver cost efficient services. It can also have the effect of increasing the exposure of health care providers to cyber security threats.
An important aspect of this security challenge is the health care specific information security rules and regulations that directly affect the operations of Health care providers.
Maintaining secure control systems within your organisation is important to ensure a safe and resilient health care delivery.
