Track: Cultivating Operational Excellence: Strategic Leadership and Culture in Digital Health
Healthcare entities must be prepared to respond quickly to the ever-evolving threat landscape and continued targeting by cybercriminals to lessen the impact and ensure business continuity in the face of the inevitable. The solution is not new technology or the latest in powerful tools: it’s an effective, well-practiced incident response plan and tabletop exercises so all workforce members understand their roles and responsibilities.
Join David Finn, First Health Advisory’s Executive Vice President of Governance, Risk, & Compliance, and Theresa Meadows, Cook Children's Health Care System’s Senior Vice President & Chief Digital & Information Officer, for an executive scenario roundtable exercise: a litmus test of cybersecurity readiness. Our cybersecurity experts will define what’s needed to confront cyber threats head-on, particularly in the wake of an incident.
What to Expect in This Session:
Attendees will learn how to assess objectives and identify key stakeholders needed to lead before, during, and after an incident, as well as put these plans into practice in an open forum dialogue with industry peers.

In the white-hot digital healthcare space, it seems a new solution arrives on the scene on an hourly basis, with venture capital funding and other investments driving a gold rush mentality.
Healthcare CIOs are at the receiving end of this bounty, a double-edged sword, with so much potential and hype for efficiencies, clinical breakthroughs, and improved patient outcomes – but what is the best way to winnow down and select from the myriad solutions? And once you’ve identified a few promising solutions, how do you pilot effectively, while managing security, regulatory and other requirements?
What to Expect in This Session:
In this session, our speakers will review best practices and use cases for piloting new digital healthcare technologies, from early vetting to building stakeholder maps and “voice of the user” frameworks for organizational adoption and executive sponsorship. We will also review strategies for addressing security and regulatory requirements and will put a spotlight on how to leverage the ecosystem of startups and established vendors.
Our speakers will bring “warts and all” lessons learned scenarios and examples, and we will solicit the same from the audience for in-session workshopping. Examples will include taking pilots to enterprise launches, creation of value propositions, and ROI tracking.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand pragmatic approaches to piloting healthcare technologies.
- Learn how to drive consensus and broader adoption of innovative solutions and workflows, quick wins by understanding existing footprint and how new technologies can simplify and improve workflows and insights.
- Increase their agility and their organizations’ ability to navigate the increasing complexity of the digital healthcare ecosystem, determining viable opportunities for test and use cases.
