IT security has become a top priority in healthcare, and with good reason. Many successful attacks use phishing and other methods to trick users into providing their passwords, which can then be used to access critical systems and information. Adding multifactor authentication for remote network access and other workflows can minimize the risk and improve security, but there are unique challenges that must be considered when selecting a solution to ensure it does not disrupt workflow or impact productivity.
Hospitals often switch from one EHR vendor to another. Why? From performance issues, poorly designed user interfaces, outdated technology or merging with another healthcare organization, there are a number of reasons why hospitals change their current EHR system and look for a new solution.
However, extra considerations should be taken when switching your EHR, to increase adoption and avoid clinical workflow interruptions. Join our panel of experts as they answer questions about:
Medical devices have become content rich, interconnected technology. But as their technology grows, so does the risk of exploitation and cyber threats, exposing medical devices as a potential target for cybercriminals to obtain information from healthcare organizations and their patients.
With the continued fear of cyberattacks in healthcare, governing bodies and industry institutions such as the HHS, ECRI, and FDA have offered up recommendations and guidance on how to better protect medical devices and the systems with which they communicate.
Experts from VMware, Imprivata and Beaufort Memorial Hospital share insights on how VDI can be used as a security tool to build cyber resilience.
Digital transformation and desktop virtualization are accelerating in healthcare, and the historically paper-based industry is going electronic. But as digitization accelerates, so do cyber threats like ransomware and phishing.
In 2015, Parkland Health and Hospital System opened a new 2.8 million square-foot facility, which was, at the time, one of the largest newly constructed hospitals in the world. The new environment required IT leaders to design an alert management and desktop management environment that would allow users to move freely about large work areas and access data when they needed it, where they needed it.
Healthcare organizations that utilize electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) recognize increases in productivity, workflow efficiency, and provider and patient satisfaction. However, industry wide misconceptions have been a barrier preventing organizations from realizing the benefits that EPCS can deliver.
In this 15 minute webinar, we address the top 5 misconceptions that healthcare faces regarding EPCS and what organizations can do to ensure successful implementation within their own environment.
With tens of millions of Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers changing between 2018 and 2020 as part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), the risk of patient misidentification will likely increase. This webinar discusses preemptive strategies to lessen the impact that MACRA could have on medical record integrity, revenue cycle efficiency, and ultimately patient safety and satisfaction. Watch it to prepare for the changes associated with the new Medicare card initiative, including:
IT security has become a top priority in healthcare due to many recent successful attacks. Cybercriminals often use phishing tactics and other methods to trick users into providing their passwords or to steal credentials, which can then be used to access critical systems and information.
But how can you increase security without disrupting workflows or productivity?
Data integrity is top of mind for CIOs. 10% of patients are misidentified during medical record searches, which can lead to patient safety concerns, lost net patient revenue as the result of denial write-offs, and contaminated patient data which reduces the return on EHR investments. However, before investing in a patient identification solution, you must understand how that solution will affect your hospital’s IT infrastructure, including EHRs, EMPIs and ADT systems, clinical and staff workflows, and patient safety and satisfaction.
