Presented in Partnership with ISMG: Watch On-demand Now
From attacks on hospitals that have disrupted operations for weeks to attacks on suppliers that have halted the critical flow of blood across an entire region of the country and the flow of financial information across much of the industry, healthcare’s resiliency has been put to the test in a very profound way this year. While teams have risen to the challenge heroically time and again, the events of 2024 have underscored some important realities that every healthcare organization must face:
- We function as an interconnected ecosystem and an attack on one entity can quickly impact thousands of others
- The rapid recoverability of IT resources is vital to safeguarding patient care
Building a more resilient enterprise and ecosystem must become a greater strategic priority for organizations as healthcare continues to grapple with cyberattacks and other highly disruptive events. We brought together three leading voices on resiliency in healthcare to share insight on steps we can take as individual entities and as an industry to be better prepared to recover from the next disruption. They discussed:
- The lessons they have learned from leading programs at large health systems and smaller regional hospitals
- How connection cultivates resilience
- How to make the shift to an integrated model for business continuity, disaster recovery, and crisis management
