Healthcare Workers Are Risking Non-HIPAA-Compliant Comms — Here’s How iPlum Solves It

Smartphones have been a real boon for healthcare professionals. Offering a massive functionality boost over traditional pager systems, today’s healthcare workers can do everything from responding to emergencies, consulting on critical cases, and maintaining a continuum of care, regardless of where they may be.

But nothing is ever without its problems. And smartphones, especially for healthcare workers, come with plenty of them.

There are, of course, the same work-life woes that plague every modern, always-connected worker. But for healthcare professionals, the problems are more than just personal concerns.

Critically, the constant exchange of sensitive information between devices can open up a labyrinth of compliance concerns, making the safeguarding of patient confidentiality a high-stakes game.

Fortunately, there is a solution.

Meet iPlum — a comprehensive, HIPAA-compliant mobile communications platform built for professionals who need mobility and privacy in their work communications.

iPlum — A Comprehensive, HIPAA-Compliant Mobile Communications Platform
