Healthcare

The healthcare industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation. Browse this page to see how Paraview’s industry solutions help the sector address the challenges in managing and securing digital identities and APIs.

Pain Points

Patient Data Protection

Healthcare organizations are custodians of vast amounts of sensitive information, including personal health information (PHI), financial data, and treatment records. Protecting this data from cyber threats is critical, as breaches can result in legal liabilities, financial penalties, and a loss of patient trust.

Regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) impose strict requirements on how patient data is accessed, stored, and share1d. Ensuring compliance with these regulations while maintaining robust identity and access management (IAM) practices is a significant challenge for healthcare providers.

Seamless Access Management

Healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and administrators, require seamless access to various digital systems and applications necessary for patient care. This access is often needed from multiple devices and locations, adding complexity to the management process.

Balancing the need for quick, uninterrupted access to essential information with the necessity of securing sensitive patient data is a critical issue. Inadequate access controls can lead to unauthorized access, while overly restrictive measures can hinder the delivery of timely care.

Security Risks of API Integration

The healthcare industry increasingly relies on APIs to integrate different systems, such as EHRs, laboratory systems, and patient portals, enabling the seamless exchange of data. However, this reliance introduces new security vulnerabilities.

If APIs are not properly managed and secured, they can become entry points for cyberattacks, leading to potential compromises of patient data and disruptions in healthcare services. Ensuring that APIs are secure without impeding functionality is a key concern for healthcare organizations.

Solution Overview

Centralized Identity and Access Management

Implement a unified platform for managing user identities and access rights across all healthcare systems, including EHRs, telemedicine platforms, and administrative tools. This ensures that only authorized users have access to the appropriate resources, enhancing security and compliance.

Secure API Management

Facilitate the secure integration and management of APIs across healthcare platforms, ensuring that data exchanged between systems is protected from threats. This includes API gateway management, encryption, and continuous monitoring to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Automated Compliance and Audit Trails

Streamline compliance with healthcare-specific regulations by providing automated reporting, audit trails, and real-time monitoring of access activities. This ensures that your organization can demonstrate compliance at all times, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties.
