BYOD is becoming a necessity, and is now a real and manageable possibility for your employees who would like to be connected to everything. The push for BYOD has reached a point that can no longer be ignored. Does your facility have a BYOD policy that is clearly defined and ready to embrace all types of devices, as well as operating systems? The IT infrastructure that enables BYOD needs to be addressed, as well as the governance and compliance issues such as establishing best practices that suit your organization. It is becoming imperative, and also much easier, to securely support the multitude of devices your doctors and support staff would like to use at work. HIPAA compliance and security is always an issue, and certainly puts a strain on your IT department but the options for support are more readily available. Hospitals and medical practices are starting to embrace the support requirements needed to enable their medical staff to bring their own devices to work, and not just allow usage on devices owned and managed by the medical facilitiy. Expectations need to be met and policies put in place to manage confidentiality and privacy requirements, and be ready for the influx of new devices. The ROI for BYOD can still be hard to justify, but the payoff in terms of a happier, more productive staff will certainly contribute to a productivity increase. 2014 will see an increase in BYOD, and it is not going away, so this coming year may be a great time to embrace it.
