The healthcare industry, not unlike some other industries, has a great deal of public pressure to reduce costs yet keep or improve quality. The ever-increasing number of federal, state, and local regulations continue to make those goals difficult at best. With more and more data being digitized, increased wireless communication, and the stampede of mobile device usage, testing healthcare products is becoming more complex, expensive, and time consuming. Lack of compliance to industry standards or regulations carry huge financial penalties and damage public trust.

Keeping up with the software demands in the healthcare industry requires the harnessing of new technologies to keep operational costs low and provide unique solutions to old and emerging problems. IHE initiatives provide standards but don’t help with implementation and maintenance costs. The need for the healthcare industry’s services isn’t ever going away, but that doesn’t mean competition isn’t a factor. Patients, insurance companies, healthcare professionals, and facilities are constantly looking for ways to speed up processing while maintaining strict adherence to regulations, and keeping up with security requirements.

Security and privacy concerns of patient data is at an all-time high. The digital age offers previously unimagined convenience and potential, but harbors serious vulnerabilities to malicious attacks. Patients, private industries, and government agencies look to software security to keep data safe and private, while still allowing appropriate and expedited access to the right people at the most critical times.
