How have projects changed?

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen healthcare organisations under intense pressures. Initially this meant that their focus had to rapidly pivot to the care of an influx of very ill people, while protecting staff and other patients. This vital switch often meant that other projects and initiatives had to be put on the back burner for a while.

Data breaches of sensitive patient information whether highly publicised or not, can be a catalyst for change when viewed as an opportunity to learn how to be respectful of staff and patient data. Andy Fyffe, Regional Vice President EMEA at Imprivata FairWarning discusses how the right type of technology can be non-intrusive, protect data and help to improve workplace culture.
