The recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “Improving HTM Operational Efficiency: 5 Ways to Save Money, Time and Effort” is eligible for 1 credit from the ACI. The presentation was sponsored by Cynerio. A pair of Apple Airpods were also given away during the session as part of Webinar Wednesday’s 10th anniversary celebration!
Biomed and HTM team members are the lifeblood that fuel the adoption of modern medical devices. To help handle tight budgets, increasing workloads and responsibility for thousands of devices, these trusty team members are constantly looking for ways to increase efficiency. One common path explored by leading HTM teams is the insight provided by modern security tools. From usage patterns to identifying cost savings, many teams have found that the same systems preventing cyber attacks can be used to increase efficiency, reduce spend and provide better treatment.
In the webinar, the Cynerio and Sodexo teams discussed the five most common efficiency updates seen in health care environments today. Throughout the discussion Sodexo Director of HTM Cybersecurity Ryan Gonzalez and Cynerio Security Evangelist Chad Holmes shared real life examples that impact HTM teams and steps that can be taken immediately. The presenters also fielded questions during and after the presentation which shared additional insights with attendees.
Registration for the session reached 150 individuals. A recording of the webinar is available for on-demand viewing at WebinarWednesday.live.
