The non-profit organization Hospital with Polyclinic in Nové Mesto nad Váhom is the sole provider of inpatient healthcare, primary and specialized outpatient care for a catchment area of nearly 70,000 residents in a district with the highest concentration of foreign companies. It consists of an inpatient section (80 beds), specialist outpatient clinics, and a complex of facilities including X-ray and CT departments, a cytology laboratory, clinical biochemistry and hematology departments, transfusion medicine, and others. The hospital strives to keep moving forward, which is why it continues to add new therapies, including ozone therapy, device-assisted lymphatic drainage, and rebox therapy.
Healthcare facilities handle a large amount of sensitive data that they cannot afford to lose. Whether these are patients’ medical records, employees’ personal data, or other data essential to the hospital’s overall operation and functioning, this is information whose loss would paralyze the entire facility. Growing digitization in healthcare has made hospitals and other healthcare facilities lucrative targets for hackers. In some cases, data loss can even put lives at risk.
