Learn how the structure of a healthy and reliable cybersecurity
program looks very similar to a healthy and reliable clinical program.
Presentation Info:
TAHC&H Event | Home Care Security Summit | Rich-Media Presentation Capture | Online On-Demand Access
Presentation Date: June 5, 2024
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.

Presentation Date: June 5, 2024
Program Description:
Contrary to the “wisdom” of the quote from The Godfather, our businesses, the people we employ,
the patients we serve, and the environments we operate within, regularly blur the boundaries between our business and personal lives.
The same is true with the subject of cybersecurity. In this session, we will explore the reality of how, for the threat actors and
those impacted by their actions, cybersecurity is blurring those lines once again. We will demystify the complexity of cybersecurity for
organizational leaders and determine to take actionable steps that will lead our organizations to safer, more secure environments for our patients, team members and their families.

Should we be monitoring infections?
Do OSHA guidelines apply to us?

Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSAs) and is not easy. This session dives into the common pitfalls that lead to
citations and explore the often-overlooked compliance elements of your emergency preparedness plan. From documentation to training and everything
in between, make sure your agency is not only prepared for emergencies but also fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
Don’t get caught off guard! Understand what’s expected and avoid those dreaded citations.

Program Description:
This session delves deeper into the critical aspects of financial and cybersecurity preparedness.
Many agencies believe they’re ready for emergencies, but the reality since 2020 has shown that unforeseen challenges, like the recent Change Healthcare attack affecting billing
and payments, can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Having a robust financial contingency plan during an emergency is not just important—it’s vital. How will your agency ensure
payroll is covered? What about protecting your finances from a ransomware attack? It’s essential to evaluate and enhance your emergency preparedness plan to include comprehensive
cybersecurity measures. Ask yourself: are you truly prepared to face a financial or ransomware attack?

There are many moving parts to any organization, but at the core, it’s people who make every industry tick! The emergence of multi -generational
teams has challenged leaders across the continuum of care to develop innovative strategies to embrace diversity of skill sets to build better and
more efficient teams. It has become evident that knowledge sharing, retention, and upskilling should be top of mind for all leaders wishing to

Requirements for Successful Completion:
To receive continuing education credits for this online presentation, the participant must view the entire online presentation, complete an evaluation, and post-test attestation.
Reporting of Perceived Bias:
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants
may use their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities,
especially in the presence of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the education activity.
