Protect Your Practice from Cybersecurity Risks Now!
Apr 26, 2024
Our industry is on high alert about cybersecurity risks–and with good reason. Threats are ongoing and serious and, in some cases, have long-lasting and wide-reaching implications. Change Healthcare was the target of a cyberattack in late February, which has impacted hospitals, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and other health care providers across the country. The effects range from cash flow challenges to patients not being able to receive or fill prescriptions. It’s important to note that doctors using ISDS-endorsed iCoreRx cloud ePrescribing software have had no interruption to their prescribing service.
ISDS endorsed partner iCoreConnect develops secure, compliant cloud-based software. That’s why we asked iCoreConnect’s Dave Fidanza to provide you with critical, yet surprisingly simple, tips to keep cyberattackers from finding their way into your system. Watch this short message and learn more about iCoreConnect’s endorsed service, iCoreRx cloud ePrescribing software.
For questions about signing up with iCoreConnect or any of our other endorsed products, contact ISDS Finance Director, Nic Atkinson.
