Many PCPs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bain.com\/insights\/us-doctors-turn-to-telehealth-as-covid-19-limits-in-person-care-snap-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moved almost entirely to telehealth<\/a>, with half of those surveyed using telemedicine in over 75% of their patient care.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/hitconsultant.net\/2020\/07\/22\/telehealth-cybersecurity-what-you-should-know\/#.X0QnhfhKhQJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">telehealth<\/a> significantly increases patient care availability, there are also intrinsic privacy and security risks that go along with it. For example, telehealth requires that patients submit their health information through online platforms \u2013 some of which lack the proper data safeguards and don&#8217;t meet HIPAA requirements. Like all data transferred over the internet, private health information used for telemedicine could be intercepted by hackers if users don&#8217;t take proper security precautions. This means ensuring you and your loved one employ best practices \u2013 locking your platform account with a strong password, ensuring you only give your personal information to your doctor or verified resource, etc. These simple steps from McAfee experts are more important than ever before, as <a
