HISA Victoria gets mobile!

Both consumers and clinicians are increasingly using mobile devices to gather information, view and update patient records within a healthcare setting. While these devices are easier to transport than the traditional computers on wheels, they also present numerous networking and security management challenges. With all the changes that go along a mobile device rollout and BYODs (bring your own devices) the policies, security and technical considerations are still in their early stages.

This event will look at the use of mobile devices in healthcare and the challenges and successes managing BYODs within a large organisation.
