The latest Webinar Wednesday presentation “Higher Risks, Lower Budgets, Covid Chaos: The Scary Reality of Securing Healthcare Environments” was presented by Mark Heston, director of clinical engineering at Children’s Hospital Colorado; Ben Stock, director of healthcare product management at Ordr and Dylan Winthers, network and cybersecurity analyst at HSS. It was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
The presenters discussed the potential challenges facing health care in 2021. This year is shaping up to be a perfect storm with challenges for delivering care as budgets shrink, increased cyber risks and an unprecedented number of caseloads. The presenters discussed a combination of products and managed services that allowed Children’s Hospital Colorado to cost-effectively discover, protect and maintain the facility’s medical devices in a time of crisis, and how these tools will be imperative to transition back to a compliant and secure biomedical environment as normalcy returns.
