Google Chrome: Protecting Online Health Record Patient Data

Electronic health records (EHRs) and critical applications are moving their way from physical to online documents.

As EHRs and critical clinical applications move to the web, clinicians need fast, familiar access that doesn’t compromise security or compliance. 

Google's Chrome Enterprise Premium (CEP) extends the Chrome experience with enterprise-grade protections and healthcare-focused integrations, helping organisations keep patient data safe while keeping care teams in flow.

Securing the point of care

CEP adds layered safeguards to protect sensitive patient information where clinicians work most. 

Advanced data loss prevention and threat protection include real-time URL scanning, anti-phishing and malware defenses and granular controls to prevent unauthorised copy/paste, printing or screen capture of protected health information. 

Centralised reporting and forensics provide visibility into risks, user activity and data transfers to help organisations support HIPAA compliance efforts and audit readiness. 

Together, these capabilities reduce breach exposure without forcing clinicians to change how they work.

Maureen Costello, Vice President UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa at Google, says Google covers a scope of work "from accelerating the pace of scientific progress to enhancing early detection of diseases, improving treatment planning, better supporting healthcare professionals and giving more people the right tools and information to live healthier".

Securing healthcare partnerships

A secure browser only helps if it keeps up with clinical speed.

Google's CEP is being optimised with leading healthcare partners so clinicians can access EHRs, SaaS tools and virtualised apps from a single, trusted point. 

Work with Epic is designed to deliver a high‑performance experience for Hyperspace for Web, minimising the lag associated with traditional virtualisation to keep orders, documentation and chart review moving. 

Partnerships with Imprivata aim to enable end‑to‑end password-less authentication that reduces login friction.

AuthX brings modern, cloud-based identity management for fast app switching and lower total cost of ownership

Citrix helps unify web, SaaS and virtualised workflows into one secure, consistent experience.

“Chrome Enterprise is enhancing healthcare organizations with secure access to enterprise browsing, significantly improving clinician and patient experiences,” says Florin Lungu, Lead DevOps Engineer, Vice President at Deutsche Bank, on LinkedIn.

“I found it interesting that these new integrations are designed to streamline workflows and increase efficiency in healthcare settings.”

Resilience and an on‑ramp to adoption

To make it easy to evaluate a secure‑browser strategy, eligible healthcare organisations can access a specialised offer that includes an extended six‑month trial, no‑charge seats during the trial, US$5,000 in services funding upon conversion and high‑touch technical onboarding with experts from Google and Epic. 

Beyond day‑to‑day protection, CEP and ChromeOS can bolster business continuity by providing a pathway to rapidly restore access to critical Epic disaster recovery solutions if Windows endpoints or app deployment tools are unavailable. 

The result is a practical, scalable approach to modern clinical work: protect patient data at the browser, speed up access to essential apps, simplify audits and strengthen resilience. 

As healthcare accelerates its shift to the web, these capabilities help clinicians focus on what matters most, delivering excellent patient care.
