Mobile devices and technologies offer a tremendous amount of benefits to\nusers, although it is also understood that it introduces a set of challenges\nwhen it comes to security, compliance, and risks. More and more healthcare\norganizations have been seeking to update their outdated technology, and have\nconsidered the adoption of mobile devices to meet these needs. However,\nintroducing mobile devices and technology also introduces new risks and threats\nto the organization. As a test case, we examine Epic Rover, a mobile\napplication that has been identified as a viable solution to manage the\nelectronic medical system. In this paper, we study the insights that the\nsecurity team needs to investigate, before the adoption of this mobile\ntechnology, as well as provide a thorough examination of the vulnerabilities\nand threats that the use of mobile devices in the healthcare environment\nbrings, and introduce countermeasures and mitigations to reduce the risk while\nmaintaining regulatory compliance.\n
