This, in turn, will grant the UC Jacobs Medical Center peace of mind and allow healthcare professionals to focus on their mission of healing and innovation without the worry of security and privacy for their patients.
“The UC San Diego Health System is award-winning not only for its medical and scientific breakthroughs, but also for its strong commitment to patient care,” said Sam Belbina, President of G4S Technology. “By providing these advanced security measures, we are ensuring patient privacy and security. This will allow medical professionals to focus solely on their mission of providing unsurpassed healthcare for their patients.”
