Population Health for IT

Program Description:

Population Health is generally defined as having three components: health outcomes, patterns of health determinants, and policies and interventions. Cybersecurity is no different and serves as the Quality and Medical Records part of IT. In fact the structure of a healthy and reliable cybersecurity program looks very similar to a healthy and reliable clinical program. We encourage you to join us as we look at the building blocks for what makes a high performance and reliable cybersecurity program. During this session we will look at how to integrate cybersecurity into the broader risk management program along with the role Clinical and Operational Leadership have for cybersecurity. A good cybersecurity program is very similar to a good population health program; the context and interventions are just different.
