Then IT needs to be onsite 24/7 and that’s just not realistic for a looot of places. Especially not rural med but I’m in in a hospital in a mid to large size city I’m just in 50 bed or so location that’s in a part of the city nobody GAF about.
Usb devices have addresses that include the vendor and product id. So IT can allow list from approved products or vendors and that will prevent people randomly plugging in devices and infecting the network. Though, it wouldnt stop a malcious device from spoofing an address from a approved device, but an targeted attack needs more sophisticatation security anyway.
I do a lot of work for a hospital system in the intermountain West. They do have rural locations. And they do have IT stuff that is on call 24/7 at every single one of their locations. So it’s not unheard of it’s not unusual it’s pretty normal. I do a good chunk of the work I do for them which is mainly network and systems upgrades as well as Wi-Fi and access points. And I do most of it overnight with one of their IT staff.
