WEBINAR: Cybersecurity – An Enabler in Securing Patient Safety
Thursday, February 25, 2021 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about new and exceptional challenges in the healthcare sector. It has imposed massive constraints and exposed one of the key concerns in the Canadian healthcare system- eroding patient safety given the alarming number of cybersecurity attacks.
Cybersecurity is tasked to protect and ensure patient confidentiality and integrity. For healthcare organizations worldwide, good cyber hygiene can enable the business to accomplish its primary mission — patient care, and is akin to great staff and premise hygiene.
Join Kevin Magee, Director, Security and Compliance, Microsoft Canada and Justin Armstrong, Security Architect, Meditech as they discuss how the adoption of robust cybersecurity measures allows for long term, sustainable improvements that enable patient safety, and benefit healthcare providers and the healthcare system.
