I changed the title for you. That is something that you can't do. Not to brag too much, but generally PM me with those types of questions.

Good choice with Malwarebytes. They are rated in the top three for anti-malware and anti-ransomware. Still make sure IF your users use email at all, that you have a meeting monthly to go over the best way to be safe and not fall for spammers and hackers, etc. The spear phishing is getting really good.

I am assuming you are using something like Malwarebyte Endpoint Protection maybe using their cloud product. Keep in mind that MBAM is not a substitue for an antivirus program. It does not include antivirus. Their support will generally tell you that you don't need a separate antivirus, although I run the above and MSE. Have to keep in mind that you may have to exclude AC from MSE. Or you can run other free antivirus programs, which work with definitions.

Finally, while anything can happen, I don't think you are at too much risk when you remote to your hospitals. Citrix and Cerner plus Juniper and other software used provides you with a connection to a secure https:// web portal. You are only passing mouse clicks and keyboard strokes and accessing the information on their end. The information is not passing back and forth. I would suppose that if you have the ability to download a file, say from PACS, you may be slightly at risk, but I would very much doubt that you would be subject to malware.
