ForwardIs Your Healthcare Practice Resilient? Protecting Your People and Your Data
Course description
In any healthcare setting, the most important assets are people and data. Hospitals and healthcare professionals cannot provide excellent services to patients without hiring talented and well-qualified people. Those people, in turn, want to feel that they are working in a safe, secure and protected environment, especially in today’s unpredictable world. These employees are the very people who can help ensure safety during physical and environmental threats, and they’re also able to help mitigate cyber threats that can threaten and expose sensitive patient data.
Understanding how to protect staff, patients and data while maintaining an excellent reputation is critical. In this session, learners will explore the key measures necessary to ensure that all sensitive data is protected. In addition, attendees will learn the steps they can take to make a facility resilient and what exercises, drills and training are important to ensure everyone remains safe.
