US Healthcare PKI Note
Overview
This Note examines the critical need to create a secure IT infrastructure for
healthcare that would increase efficiency of service without compromising patient privacy. It also identifies the challenges that exist, such as interoperability and government legislation, on the path to accomplishing such a monumental and necessary goal.
More than most sectors, the US healthcare industry is labeled as being desperately in need of the efficiencies provided by ubiquitous networking. A study compiled by McKinsey
states that if medical organizations spent $50 billion each year on information technology, they would save $270 billion each year. This massive savings is related to the fact that the healthcare industry has had a lower percentage of expenditure for information technology as compared to other industries. This provides an opportunity to increase efficiency and to reduce risks by investing in a strong information technology infrastructure.
