Healthcare IT Company, Comport, Provides Upcoming Wireless Trends for 2019

RAMSEY, N.J., Feb. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Comport, a leader of healthcare IT companies, recently held a discussion on wireless trends in 2019 for the industry. With mobility exploding and patients expecting access to the outside world, technology for healthcare is taking on new meaning.

"We are living in exciting times for healthcare IT in particular," stated Eric Young, Principal Cloud Architect of Comport. "Patients expect that they will have access to what they want, when they want it, that includes once they have left the hospital."

Here are the top trends in wireless technology as discussed by Comport.

    --  The IoT - As a whole, the IoT is moving in whether you want it or not.
        Healthcare organizations are working to create guest access for their
        patients while still providing their staff with secure, instant
        connections. Modern healthcare organizations are taking advantage of IoT
        by providing a connected mobile platform for unified guest access.
    --  Cyber Security Focus - With the continued value of patient records to
        the cybercriminal world, healthcare organizations need to ensure that
        they have a focus on security within their wireless environment. New
        technologies like Aruba Clearpass provide better network access control
        for better visibility into what's on your network and ability to respond
        to threats. Keeping up with wireless security in healthcare is a must!
    --  Get Smart - Many healthcare organizations have upgraded their wireless
        and continue to have bandwidth issues. The trick is to get smarter about
        wireless, don't just keep expanding. Take advantage of wireless
        technology like automation, software defined and AI to create more
        intelligence and determine priorities for better traffic delivery.
    --  Management Tools - When it comes to your network being able to identify
        the problem is generally the hardest part. Newer management tools can
        hone in on specific issues and help you remediate much faster, improving
        end user satisfaction and focusing your time on innovation.

Over time networks will evolve to encompass the mobility demand. The challenge for healthcare IT will be to keep up with these patient expectations while securing their network.
