There is an array of items to deliberate for any healthcare organization that is looking to bring on a new clinical communications platform, let alone a hospital that has been open for about two months. Ensuring that the data being communicated is secure in a HIPAA compliant manner should be near the top of that list.

The corporate-distributed devices have baked-in security features as part of Voalte’s mobile infrastructure.
