Healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented challenges: high staff turnover leading to nursing burnout, hiring of temp/travel staff requires regular onboarding and hits tight budgets, and scheduling in-person meetings and trainings can become bottlenecks. Mixed Reality simulation offers a fully virtual, on-demand tool. Users can train where they want, when they want reducing scheduling bottlenecks and reducing training T&E spend. It also supports reinforced learning and repetition, combatting the loss of information.

This discussion will focus on the security& privacy issues associated with remote patient monitoring applications and devices, including medical IoT (Internet of Things) devices.  We’ll discuss how NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, Langone Medical Center, and Center for Cybersecurity are collaborating on innovative research and educational programs around cybersecurity and healthcare.

United allegedly paid the group 30% of the amount the judges determined to be fair; recent cyberattacks provide precedent for FBI’s mitigation efforts.

In this special edition of HIMSSCast, recorded live at the HIMSS Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum in Boston, McKesson's Roshal Marshall talks about those issues and others: AI integrity, information blocking compliance and more.

This discussion will focus on the dangers of fragmented digital identity. Digital identities, or the unique identifiers and credentials an individual uses to interact online, are the most important part of an organization to secure. Although many solutions can bolster cybersecurity, a holistic digital identity management strategy is the best way to secure user identity and access without hindering workflow productivity. Organizations should implement products that follow this strategy, not uncoordinated solutions.

As healthcare embraces the cloud for surge capacity, agility,  and to alleviate supply chain challenges, bad actors are intentionally targeting the industry.  Comprehensive data management and ransomware protection is now critical.  Please join Veritas for a discussion on protecting your healthcare organization from the edge to the cloud.

The accelerated digital transformation in healthcare has extended the healthcare ecosystem exponentially. Wearables and monitoring devices, the acceptance of telehealth as a care modality, and the explosion of patient-facing apps – and more — have all taken cybersecurity from something that was in the backroom in the mid-2000s to the boardroom today.
Given recent high-profile ransomware attacks affecting patient care and data security, the stakes have never been higher when it comes to ensuring care continuity while meeting expanding regulatory requirements.
The healthcare and life sciences cybersecurity profession must continue to meet the pace of need with the pace of speed when it comes to ensuring operational resilience, patient safety, and data security — into 2023 and beyond.

Blockchain expert Maria Palombini, director, healthcare and life sciences practice lead, global business strategy and intelligence, at the IEEE Standards Association, discusses where the tech is making progress and where it's lagging.
