The
use of smartphones and tablet computers is delivering tremendous
benefits in healthcare but comes with some challenges, whether mobile
devices are issued by the organisation or are owned by employees:
- To secure the devices and data against loss or theft;
- To maintain compliance with internal and external security and confidentiality mandates, especially with respect to Patient Identifiable Data;
- To simplify initial provisioning and on-going configuration - ensuring the users have immediate access to their data and apps, especially when devices are shared between users.
This
report shows how the ICT teams of four NHS organisations are using
MobileIron Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions to manage
mobile device proliferation, including smartphones, tablets, mobile
application usage, and demands from employees for greater mobility; and
enabling user-driven innovation while maintaining security over their
mobile estates.
