    As a security leader, patients come first and sometimes the security controls you have in place will need to be applied differently to prioritize patient care and safety. During this talk, Martin Fisher, Manager – IT Security and Chief Information Security Officer, will share use cases on how understanding the tools you have and how you can leverage those tools for transformational events will be essential for keeping patients safe. Learning Objectives:
    • Why you need to plan now for the problem six months from now
    • How to take stock of your organization’s IT tool kit and how to adapt that tool kit for Covid-19 and other urgent response needs
    • Why having an identity access management tool that has flexible automation is essential for enabling you to make course changes quickly

    "Health systems are under constant pressure to improve patient care quality and safety, while at the same time reducing costs and increasing revenue. Communication failures are the root of most medical errors and sentinel events. When team members do not communicate effectively, it is inevitable that patient care suffers. Part of that ineffectiveness is due to fragmented systems, lack of user compliance and the stresses on the team members especially when trying to perform at the highest level. Allm will educate the audience on how to utilize transformational digital technologies for coordinated communication, collaboration, and workflow management. We help health systems to better synchronize the care amongst stakeholders for better patient outcomes. Breaking down the organizational silo. Learning Objectives:
    • How to share information through the care continuum?
    • How to achieve effective collaboration?
    • How to improve patient outcomes and safety, and reduce cost?

    2020 saw unprecedented changes to healthcare delivery as care shifted to virtual platforms, patients and healthcare workers shifted to work from home environments, and new government regulations increased demand for payer-provider data exchange and patient data access . These events also accelerated an already rapid march to the cloud for healthcare delivery organizations. This focus group will explore the challenges at the intersection of these two trends, including interoperability, legacy data management, virtualization, and patient management across the continuum of care, as well as the role of HIEs in the future of healthcare.

    Event Information

    The HIPAA Security Rule, as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other standards, stipulate that risk analysis and risk management should be continuous, and not performed at a single point in time. However, for various reasons, many healthcare organizations treat these key functions as a once and done process. As described by NIST, “The objective is to institutionalize risk management into the day‐to‐day operations of organizations as a priority and an integral part of how organizations conduct operations in cyberspace — recognizing that this is essential in order to successfully carry out missions in threat‐laden operational environments.” During this session, Clearwater CEO Steve Cagle and Head of Consulting Services Jon Moore will review a new managed service offering the company has developed to help healthcare providers build and operate a Cyber Risk Management program that is reasonable and appropriate for their needs, meets HIPAA Security Rule Risk Analysis, Risk Management, Technical and Non-Technical Evaluation requirements, and aided by the power of a purpose-built software tool, provides the ability to maintain and provide timely information on their unique risks for decision making within the organization. Attendees will be asked to share their feedback on the Cyber Risk Management challenges their organization is facing and how effectively the offering addresses those challenges.

    Organizations are challenged by connecting systems in a myriad of ways, healthcare organizations have been thrust into the world of FHIR APIs via 21st Century Cures Act and need to respond/deliver or face penalties. This presentation will discuss the layers of technology involved in supporting APIs for internal and external systems to deliver to customers/patients/partners and how to manage that infrastructure with as much local control as possible. Learning Objectives:
    • Attendees have be able to describe the challenge organizations face delivering for data to meet the 21st Century Cures Act requirements
    • Attendees will understand the technology has deployed or plans to deploy by UC Davis Health to address these requirements
    • Attendees will be able to identity needs and possible strategies for their organization based on the presentation.

    As cybersecurity threats continue to rise, increased industry and governmental scrutiny is being placed on health systems and how they manage the security of their connected medical devices. Independent Service Organizations (ISOs) such as TRIMEDX play a significant role in addressing these concerns, supporting health systems through all aspects of cybersecurity for their medical device inventory. During this webinar we will discuss the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape and how health systems can incorporate cybersecurity strategies that address the complexities of the hospital ecosystem while providing swift detection, response and remediation of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. Learning Objectives:
    • Growing trends in cybersecurity
    • The role of independent service organizations in addressing cybersecurity threats
    • Best practices for medical device cybersecurity

    While most CIOs agree that it is critical to have a defined technology or digital strategy, creating and maintaining one is a big challenge. As a result, very few organizations have a defined plan. A handful of very progressive organizations will have a strategic plan where technology and digital transformation are enablers. While not identified in a separate, distinct plan, the specific initiatives are embedded in the overall plan. This is rare and we see it in about 5% of health systems. Studies have shown that about 20% of hospitals do have a written technology or digital strategy but only have of those are executed and updated once the plan is completed. It takes a lot of hard work and cultural fortitude. The majority of hospitals simply do not have a coherent technical or digital strategy. Most initiatives are based on the crisis of the day, individual projects from influential leaders and legitimate investments aligned with the organizational strategy. It is very much hit and miss and comes at a steep price. The foundational elements and infrastructure to support strategic initiatives are underinvested. So, how do you go about changing this narrative and outcome?
