The healthcare industry is dealing with a greater burden right now than ever before. Organizations are dealing with more patients and handling more data than ever before, and often with less clinical staff. This puts a higher reliance on digital solutions which results in greater demands on their IT infrastructure.
This is especially taxing because right now, there’s also a big push to deliver remote care. It’s not easy to care for patients remotely while also looking out for security and compliance issues – and all without stretching your resources too thin. To pull all of this off is going to take an intense focus on network optimization.
Thankfully, there is one solution that makes all of this a little easier, and that’s Cisco Meraki Dashboard, with Cisco Umbrella. What Umbrella does is unify DNS-layer security, secure web gateways, cloud access security, and application-aware firewall functionalities to give you one single portal for all healthcare IT management. The result is that your IT team can automate processes, cut costs, and save everyone precious time.
So how will this tangibly benefit your business? A lot of ways, actually. Let’s take a deep dive into the positive impacts of Cisco Meraki Dashboard in healthcare:
Customers, developers, partners, and integrators can use Meraki Dashboard to automate countless tasks that would be tedious otherwise. This frees up their time and energy in a significant way, allowing them to focus more on strategic initiatives that will help them truly shine in their roles.
