Virtual Nursing
Digital Health: Cyber Clinician Support
First Health’s proven methodology and cyber clinicians support clients with developing an in-patient virtual nursing program rooted in cyber resilience. Our digital health cyber clinicians target nurse recruitment, retainment challenges, and staffing shortages with a virtual nursing program, training & workshops, and fill workforce gaps to improve overall cyber posture & operational efficiencies.
Digital Health, or the convergence of healthcare and technology, permanently changed care delivery and blurred the lines on how and where data is shared and stored. Data and security decisions are no longer tied to just one department or even contained within a physical care site. Regulations, enhanced guidance, and evolving care environments and technologies must be met with an equally innovative approach to cyber resiliency and privacy and security requirements rooted in governance and operational efficiencies.
