Open source software has become the foundation for building modern, customizable, and cost-efficient solutions. Open source is used in a variety of healthcare functions, from improved diagnosis and treatment to predictive modeling, and wearable remote monitoring devices.
This substantial dependence on open source software has prompted healthcare organizations to strategically prioritize the security and effective maintenance of the open source software supply chain so they can continue to innovate while minimizing risk.
Tidelift helps address this need by giving leading healthcare organizations the tools and data they need to manage their open source software supply chain effectively, streamlining costs and reducing open source related security risk.
“The decision to incorporate open source software made it easy to quickly build a robust patient portal, equipped with cutting-edge functionality. Recognizing the critical role of open source in their operations and the intricacies of open source management in the context of healthcare, the organization set a strategic objective to enhance the management of the open source software supply chain with the goal of mitigating risks and optimizing costs.”
