Back to the Basics: The Importance of a Good Cybersecurity Foundation

摘要

Cyberattacks certainly did not slow down in 2021 and the forecast for 2022 doesn't look much better. A good cybersecurity foundation is imperative for health systems and organizations because patient safety is on the line. As threat vectors intensify and the bad guys get "badder," what can healthcare organizations do to protect their patients and revenue? Healthcare Innovation sat down with Francois Bodhuin, technology director and information security officer at Inspira Health in Vineland, New Jersey. Inspira Health is a nonprofit integrated health system comprised of three hospitals, two comprehensive cancer centers, and several multi-specialty health centers, and has a total of more than 150 access points including urgent care; outpatient imaging and rehabilitation; cardiac testing facilities; home care and hospice; and more than 35 primary and specialty physician practices in Gloucester, Cumberland, Salem, Camden, and Atlantic counties.
