Enhancing Systemness Through an Enterprise Imaging Approach
It's one of the most infuriating things patients can experience during their care journeys -- they've had an image taken (perhaps even at another unit in the hospital) and the clinician they are now in front of either didn't receive it or can't access it. And it's not only frustrating for the patient, but for the clinicians on both ends of that image handoff who are unable to deliver the care they want, or at the very least are having their workflow stymied. The reasons for such lack of interoperability are legion -- ranging from too many disparate PACS, to too many differing workflows, to suboptimal governance. In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders about where they're focusing their enterprise imaging efforts and the best practices learned along the way.

Q&A with Texas Health Resources CISO & VP of Technology Operations Ron Mehring: “Openness & Respect are Keys to Cyber Team Success”
Post 9/11, it was a key element of messaging in New York City – if you see something, say something. The idea, of course, was that law enforcement could only do so much; but vigilance on everyone’s part would be a game changer. And it’s that same principle that Ron Mehring says is key to […]

Q&A with Doylestown Health CIO Chris Myers: The ‘Secret Sauce’ for Leaders and Lessons Learned as a Marine
When Covid-19 hit and priorities were constantly shifting, healthcare IT teams didn’t need a technology expert; they need an “air traffic controller” who could communicate effectively, said Chris Myers. In this interview, he talks about how he has drawn from his military experience to guide teams both during and after the pandemic.

Q&A with Alan McHugh, Chief, FBI Cyber Division, Cyber Crime Tactical Intelligence Unit: “The Time to Call the FBI is Now”
Most CISOs understand that one of their key phone calls after a ransomware incident will be to the FBI, but what they may not appreciate is that it shouldn’t be their first to that organization. That’s because the emergency call will be much more effective, and the response much more efficient, if a relationship has […]

Partner Perspective: Most Health Systems Should Initiate ‘Conscious Decoupling’ from Ambulatory/Retail Care
One the main keys to success in any business is focusing on certain products and services to the exclusion of others – to draw a circle in the sand and say, ‘We play in these areas, and in them we will be the best.’ If an organization can’t be great at something that others are doing better, it may be time to reallocate those resources. For Damon Auer, the time for health systems with hospitals at their core to decouple from the ambulatory/retail space is now. It’s a bold prediction, driven by the observable fact that new entrants into that space are providing an Amazon-like experience which established, acute-centric organizations can only dream about. In this Partner Perspective interview with healthsystemCIO Founder and Editor-in-Chief Anthony Guerra; Auer, Chief Executive & Managing Director, North America, Dedalus Group, discusses these issues and many more.

Understanding Your Cyber Insurance Needs & Keys to Obtaining Coverage
Your organization needs cyber insurance. Why? Over 80% of organizations experienced at least one successful phishing attack in 2021, and 54% experienced a cyberattack in the last 12 months. Considering the average cost of a data breach was $4.35 million in 2022 – and even higher in the healthcare industry at $10.1 million – cyber insurance is a business concern that urgently needs your attention. But getting and keeping cyber insurance coverage is increasingly challenging in today’s market – as is getting your claims approved. And even when your claim is approved, you may have insufficient coverage to compensate you. Only 19% percent of organizations have cyber insurance coverage over $600,000, while the average ransomware payment in 2021 was over $810,000. In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders about how they are tackling the cyber insurance challenge.

Keys to Minimizing Threat Alert to Remediation Time
Busy CISOs working in healthcare never lack actionable threat intelligence. What they need is to quickly find the signal within the noise of cybersecurity alerts – and then effectively remediate risks and vulnerabilities before they can compromise PHI and other sensitive healthcare data. The talent shortage in cybersecurity has left many in-house security teams understaffed and overwhelmed, especially when it comes to cloud-based workloads. That's why our panel of healthcare security leaders are ready to share their insights on optimizing governance, policies, and tools, including software and managed services, to not only patch apps but proactively hunt threats. In this timely webinar, hear from security leaders who are focused on leveraging all appropriate tools to keep their organizations up and running. Join us to dive into the crucial topic of Mean Time to Respond/Remediate (MTTR), an obstacle healthcare CISOs must overcome daily.

Strategies for Enhancing Email Security While Ensuring Deliverability
Email is both the lifeblood of an organization's communications and -- for that very reason -- the number one vector cyber criminals are leveraging to wreak havoc. To protect email, smart organizations are using a combination of employee education, process improvement and tools (including role-based personas) to prevent people from falling for phishing attacks. But it's not as simple as locking everything down, because any steps that decrease the deliverability of legitimate emails cause a negative impact on operations, and possibly patient care. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders who are focused on doing everything possible to ensure that authentic email -- and only that -- gets delivered intact and on time.

Keys to Running an Audit-Ready IT Shop
Most IT executives know that, despite taking all prudent measures, breaches are going to happen. And these days those breaches are sometimes followed by lawsuits (recently reaching class-action status). Even short of lawsuits, OCR or another entity could always come calling for one reason or another, demanding an intense look around. So what's a CIO or CISO to do? Skate to the puck, that's what. In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders who have put time and energy into understanding the complexities of securing patient data as well as running the kind of IT shop that can respond to audit inquiries while continuing to protect the enterprise.

Grounding Your Medical Device Security Program in Good Governance
Though the exact order may differ, almost every CIO & CISO will say that medical device security is one of their top three concerns. And those who have made little headway with this challenge will confess that a tool alone -- absent sound governance & sensible policies -- won't solve the problem. That's because reducing medical device security risks to a point that everyone can sleep at night is dependent on IT, IT security and biomed/clinical engineering all working together, with actions like product security reviews, equipment purchasing and patching all happening in the right sequence and with the right collaboration. In this webinar, we'll hear from leaders who are well versed in the optimal governance structures that, when combined with the right tools, can reduce medical devices security risks in a systemic and sustainable way.

Improving Patient Communications as the Cornerstone of Your Patient Experience Strategy
All of the excellent clinical care in the world can be quickly forgotten if patients are then subjected to a barrage of excessive, fragmented and/or poorly sequenced communication from your health system. And it's happening around the industry. In a move from famine to feast, many organizations have gone from no digital patient engagement tools to too many, with departments and service lines bombarding those receiving care with uncoordinated robocalls, emails and texts. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to healthcare IT leaders who are focused on making sure their patient engagement strategy complements, rather than compromises, the overall patient experience.

Developing Optimal Policies & Relationships to Deal with Insider Privacy Breaches
One of the most serious compliance issues CIOs and CISOs deal with are insider privacy breaches. And, not surprisingly, all such breaches are not alike. At a high level, they break down into malicious versus non-malicious, giving IT executives two paths to go down as they address the infraction. Beyond that, the issues can be dealt with in any number of ways, but all of those will see the IT executive working with their peers in privacy, compliance, HR and legal (and, if warranted, outside law enforcement). In this timely webinar, we’ll hear from leaders who have thought through just how best to deal with insider breaches to optimize prevention, detection and remediation.

Partner Perspective: In Order to Thrive, Health Systems Must Master Identity
Faced with shrinking margins in the face of competitive headwinds, health systems must start being more consumer friendly. And one of the main ways to do that, says Verato CEO Clay Ritchey, is leveraging data to better customize outreach, resulting in better service. But that can only be accomplished if health systems are able to form a complete picture of the patient across their internal departments, and that takes sophisticated identity management. However, Ritchey’s vision for such improvements in customer service go beyond a health system mastering identity across its internal silos. As part of a recent deal with CLEAR, Verato is now working to bridge the gap between the consumer piece of identity (the front end) and the enterprise piece (the back end). In this episode of healthsystemCIO’s Partner Perspective Interview Series with Founder & Editor-in-Chief Anthony Guerra, Richey discusses these issues and provides his advice for health systems working to get their arms around…

Keys to Getting Your AI Journey Started on the Right Foot
For better or worse, finding success with AI takes more than plugging those projects into existing governance structures. At first, this may not seem the case, as implementation of AI-light projects -- such as RPA, native EHR predictive modeling, or chatbot-powered symptom checkers -- give the impression that today's governance will do the trick. But true AI requires a different approach, one that provides the freedom to innovate without producing another silo that will ultimately hold the organization back. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders who are looking to futureproof their AI journey by constructing the optimal long-term strategy today.

Strategies for Pursuing a Comprehensive Application Rationalization Approach
The bane of every IT executives existence – from CIO to CTO to CISO – is a complex environment. And nothing contributes to such complexity like hundreds (or even thousands) of applications from dozens of different vendors. Thus, many leaders are working to formalize a rational approach to application selection, along with a reduction of duplication among existing vendors. But challenges abound, as sometimes these tools can be purchased at the departmental level without notifying IT until the last minute, or even later.

Keys to Securing Tomorrow’s Workflows
The nature of work continues to change at lightning speed. First off, workers -- both clinicians and non-clinicians -- now need to be able to access key applications from anywhere on both company-issued and personal devices. Secondly, the apps being accessed are often no-longer in tightly controlled, on-prem data centers but in the cloud (and many different clouds at that). Not surprisingly, having so much variability in the combination of user, device and workload is proving to be a challenge for IT professionals. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders who are skating to the puck, devising and implementing strategies that will allow their users to work where and how they want in as safe and secure a manner as possible.

Partner Perspective: Knowing What’s on Your Network is a Foundational Cyber-Hygiene Step

For weeks and months, bad actors will penetrate an organization, overriding and infecting different systems before the final attack. A lot can be done at the beginning of such an attack to mitigate it, if cyber-leaders have a good understanding of their assets and how they all interconnect, he says. In this Live at Vive episode of healthsystemCIO’s Partner Perspective Interview Series, Anthony Guerra, founder and editor-in-chief, interviews Izrael, who says good cyber-hygiene is an organization’s best defense. “The reality is that most attacks don't happen with these super fancy, Zero-days that just came out.

For compelling patient safety reasons, healthcare IT executives often focus their connected-devices security program on the medical devices at the bedside. However, as more and more non-bedside, even non-clinical, devices are connected to the network, it's incumbent on IT professionals to know what, and where, they are. That's because the correct functioning of those devices is critical to continuity of care and, thus, patient safety. For example, if a network-connected elevator is hacked, it's entirely plausible patients can't be transported to the surgical suites, etc. In this important webinar, we'll speak to leaders about how they're working to secure not only IV pumps by the bed, but the refrigerators, cameras and other devices that ensure patients can get to the care they need.

And with dozens, or even hundreds, of them in a healthcare organization's ecosystem -- often shifting in and out in a constantly morphing kaleidoscope of risk -- it's a monstrous problem to manage. But there are steps around onboarding, offboarding and periodically assessing the risk of individual vendors that CIOs, CISOs, and others can take to get their arms around this challenge. In this webinar, we'll speak to leaders about how they are working to reduce the security risks posed by third-party vendors.

Developing a Multifaceted Patient Matching Strategy to Fuel Interoperability
In order to comply with both regulations and patient demand, health systems must provide patients with electronic access to their designated record set. But considering that patient information often resides not only in the EHR but other applications and archives, providing access to all that information in one patient portal, or even through your current Release of Information process, is tricky. That's because while patients may have a unique identifier in the main EHR, it doesn't carry over to those other data sources. Enter the need for an organization-wide unique identifier that can facilitate bringing it all together. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders about how they are working to satisfy growing patient demand for access to their data and comply with the 21st Century Cures Act.

Third-party risk is a key trend to watch, but so is the increase in patient-owned devices being used for diagnostic purposes, Duemling says. “It's really challenging because obviously you can't deploy traditional tools onto someone's privately owned device, but you are, to some degree, still responsible for the protection of their information, and certainly their protection when it comes to the care that they receive.” Ultimately, it requires building strong relationships in the enterprise and getting out in…

Successfully Leading Application Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives
More than ever, healthcare IT executives are expected to take costs out of their organizations. One of the main ways they can do so is by rationalizing their application portfolios and sunsetting tools -- from EHR to ERP -- that no longer make the grade. But the process of doing so efficiently is far from simple. In this important webinar, we'll hear from leaders who have navigated the rationalization road.

Keys to Running an Effective IT Shop
Running an effective IT shop means doing a lot of things right. First off, you must have a sound governance system to ensure the right work is being taken on, then you must have an effective team (and system) to accomplish and track the work. Of course, that's just the start, because CIOs must constantly communicate with eager customers about the value being delivered while not overcommitting teams that are often on the brink of burnout. CIOs must also figure out ways to deliver innovative solutions while managing remote teams and keeping the organization secure. In this important webinar, we'll hear from leaders who are working hard to move their organizations forward in times of unprecedented change and demand.

Securing the Expanded Attack Surface Created by a Remote Workforce
The best security professionals have always focused on empowering rather than restricting. However, securing today's work-from-anywhere workforce is putting that noble goal to the test. That's because working from home (or anywhere other than locations owned by the organization) opens up a can of security worms and questions, such as are folks more susceptible to ransomware and BEC social engineering attacks because the comfort of their own homes naturally lowers their guard? Can, for example, running downstairs to change out the laundry mean your 10 year old will jump on your laptop and click away? Of course, the implications of that happening vary based on whether the end point in question is a work laptop or personal device, and how it's secured. In this important webinar, we'll talk to IT leaders about how they balance the need to empower with the need to secure in today's post-pandemic environment.

Though the cloud may be a key element to empowering today's work-from-anywhere workforce, there are many aspects of it that concern security professionals. Questions abound around the security implications of different cloud arrangements, such as public or private, multi or hybrid and, when those seem a bridge too far, what to keep on-premises. Once a cloud strategy has been set, critical considerations around networking and access arise, and finally, but perhaps most importantly, is the issue of enforcing end-user policies and permissions, and securing the endpoints or devices employees ultimately use. In this important webinar, we'll delve into all these issues and elicit best practices for securing your journey to the cloud.

Ryan Witt is a true believer. As managing director of healthcare for Proofpoint, he believes deeply in the connection between providing patient care and cybersecurity. Of course, recent event have borne him out, as cyberattacks have forced health systems to return to paper for weeks, and even necessitated the diversion of patients elsewhere. Witt says he’s shocked on occasion to see some health systems not utilizing all the best practices out there. In this Partner Perspective Interview, he also notes how most cyberattacks are happening, and later identifies some new, extremely promising technologies, all as part of his effort to spread the gospel of cyber-preparedness.

Establishing Accurate Patient Identity As the Cornerstone of Your Interoperability Strategy
Data that has been merged from disparate sources – whether internal, external or the result of M&A – will only be actionable if accurate and complete identity has been established of the people you serve. And in the absence of a national patient identifier, health systems have been left to their own devices to ensure those records are properly matched, avoiding the all too common mistakes in which the records of different patients are merged, or a new record is created instead of an existing one being found. But identity resolution errors abound, impacting patient safety and quality and cost of care. In this important webinar, we'll hear from leaders who have made progress towards their patient identity and matching goals so the fruits of their interoperability work can be realized.

Partner Perspective: Health Systems Need New Approach to Managing Threat Posed by Third-Party Vendors
If cybersecurity challenges are mounting for health systems in today’s increasingly risky global environment, why would it be any different for their third-party vendors — especially the smaller ones? What’s clear is that even the largest of health systems can only be as safe as their partners. In this episode of healthsystemCIO’s Partner Perspective Series, Anthony Guerra, editor-in-chief and founder, talks with Brian Selfridge, a partner at Meditology Services, about the issue. Selfridge says it’s just a matter of time before health systems get breached if they don’t vet and continue to monitor third-party risk. To do so, they will likely have to make an investment in staff, technology or process — or a little of all three, he says. A single breach of a key vendor can impact hundreds of health systems in one swoop, Selfridge says. “We’re seeing a lot more attention on third-party risk, from the board level to the management level, and even in the workforce.”

In an increasingly interconnected mobile society, health systems are grappling with how to leverage resources to drive operational efficiencies for better patient outcomes.
