Enjoy the audio version of our most recent webinar. Innovations in medical device technology have led to advances in interoperability between connected devices, EMRs, and the networks they communicate over. However, with more devices being used to deliver care, gather and transmit patient data, and assist with clinical decision making, it is critical to ensure that they are protected against a myriad of security threats. Building a comprehensive security strategy for network-connected medical devices requires thoughtful planning to ensure that organizations meet all necessary security requirements without compromising clinical workflow efficiencies. Health systems must build a program that addresses the foundational security requirements for devices to safeguard data integrity, information confidentiality, device availability, and patient safety.  Join us to discuss how health systems are approaching this security conundrum in their environments today.

CIOs receive numerous requests for implementing advanced analytics solutions by different internal service lines excited by the news from other organizations. A parallel push comes from vendor companies interested in selling solutions to them. These offerings, in many cases, have competing interests for predicting similar measures, and they all claim to have developed best-of-breed solutions with a very high accuracy. History shows that many of these engagements are limited to pilot projects with corresponding limited impact to what goes on at the bedside. This webinar will provide a high-level framework for establishing an ecosystem to nurture these initiatives. The presentation will go beyond algorithms and technologies to discuss both technical and organizational requirements and provide a blueprint of how they can be executed.

There is no doubt security is top of mind with just about every healthcare IT executive. But according to Ryan Witt, managing director of healthcare with Proofpoint, many of those executives are making their security investments in the wrong places. That’s because while focusing on the network is still the defense of choice, cybercriminals have changed tactics, and are now actively leveraging social media and other public information to profile and target select individuals at health systems. The good news is that their favorite targets have been identified by the good guys and can thus be better protected. In this interview, Witt discusses the new reality of healthcare IT security and how professionals can best respond.
