- New mobile devices are constantly being introduced into health IT infrastructure systems and organizations are responsible for making sure devices are totally protected. Mobile content management (MCM) in healthcare is one mobile device security tool entities can use to control content delivery.

MCM stores and delivers content and services to mobile devices. MCM handles file-sharing among users and manages which files are stored on the device and for how long.

As healthcare organizations migrate to cloud-based storage, MCM can help to distribute files from the cloud in a way that is compatible with the mobile device.
