Experts from HBR suggest five steps to prevent disasters like the one from Change Healthcare : 🔹All parts of the health care system need to follow basic cyber hygiene, like strong passwords and regular updates. 🔹 Not all connections between health care organizations are equally risky. Some need extra protection, especially those allowing outside control. 🔹Some parts of the health care system are more important than others. We need to identify these and be ready to recover quickly if they're attacked. 🔹Health care organizations should share information about cyberattacks quickly to help each other stay safe. 🔹The government should support the health care system by protecting it from legal consequences when sharing attack information and helping to identify and defend against cyber risks.

Five actions that can help avoid a repeat of the Change Healthcare debacle.

Essential reading for every healthcare leader. As we figure out how to respond to the Change Healthcare hack, and understand the long-term repercussions for practices, we also need to seriously consider what we can do to prevent the next attack. We know bad actors aren’t going to disappear, so it’s up to us to do whatever we can. Erik Decker, John Glaser, and Janet Guptill, FACHE, CPHIMS via Harvard Business Review, share their wisdom and layout five strategies that certainly apply to larger organizations, but also offer up insights that even smaller practices should consider.

Healthcare finance leaders must partner with their stakeholders and industry players to prevent future cyberattacks in our interconnected healthcare system. See how.
