It all comes back to a foundation of trust, which is especially critical in a clinical setting. The seven pillars of data governance provide the framework for a successful data strategy roadmap.

October 21, 2022: One in five Americans today are unpaid caregivers. That's 54 million adults caring for somebody over the age of 65 in an unpaid capacity. The aging boomer population or “Silver Tsunami” means that there will be 90 million seniors by 2040. 89% of seniors say they want to live in their homes for as long as possible. We don't have the staffing or medical support supply chains to do that. Carina Edwards, CEO of Quil Health is here today to discuss Quil Assure. The Next Generation Medical Alert and Home Safety platform for seniors aging in place. It’s a “best of both worlds” technology for caregivers and seniors with emergency on-demand and “set it and forget it” approach.

We used to talk about the fact that healthcare was reticent to move to the cloud because of security and compliance and any other number of reasons. What has changed to drive this increased level of adoption of the cloud? Aging legacy infrastructure and existing data centers led to very high costs. Remote working locations are also a threat. The pressure to be able to share data as a result of the pandemic, while at risk of potential fines, has accelerated that as well. Along with ‘The Great Resignation’ and different adaptations within the cloud infrastructure, we're seeing challenges around being able to hire the correct professionals to keep the environment to the level that you are accustomed to, but also being able to have the ability to manage all these different platforms to go where you’d really like them to go. Why multi-cloud? What’s happening to drive multiple clouds for health systems? How can we ensure that there’s going to be a certain level of continuity? How can the infrastructure be modernized? Where do the old applications fit in with machine learning and AI and data services? How can all of this be managed and operated efficiently? What about automation?Sign up for our webinar: Delivering Better Patient Experience with Modern Digital Infrastructure - Thursday October 13 2022: 1pm ET / 10am PT.

There are huge new developments in end user computing. How has our approach changed over the last five years? The pandemic uncovered a need for flexibility. We simply cannot have suboptimal experiences. How can we reduce the operational complexity? How do we break down our security needs? What happened when we sent clinicians to their home early on in the pandemic? What did that look like? How were we able to create a remote experience that mirrored in-person? What tools and systems were put in place for accessing the EHR? How did we ensure a good experience when they moved to essentially a new location of care? How does VMware differentiate in this updated environment? The evolution of healthcare is tied to the level of care. If a separate environment is really what's optimal for the patient, then we have to find a way to support that. It’s what you call a surround strategy. There are displacement strategies but what's more important to VMware is, instead of just burning your business, they make sure that they’re enhancing that experience and that outcome.Sign up for our webinar: Delivering Better Patient Experience with Modern Digital Infrastructure - Thursday October 13 2022: 1pm ET / 10am PT.

Healthcare is starting to get its act together in regards to healthcare applications. We see more and more health systems trying to develop that muscle of application development. Why is this happening? What is driving this change? In the past, everybody remembers the ‘going to be down for maintenance’ notification, right? Well now we have more modular versions, where you're able to take out and update different portions. This means that now, more than ever, the digital front door could not be more important. After the pandemic, health systems needed to rewrite their digital front door and in the process of doing that, they recognized that they needed to supply the framework. And then as partners came in and worked within the framework, because they set up that digital front door, they were able to work with additional applications as they moved forward, because the architecture was correct. Not only to stay relevant but to provide a version of value based care that’s evolving to where the application itself is more suited to the patient base. Architecture that provides not only agility but also a layer of security, in terms of the framework.Sign up for our webinar: Delivering Better Patient Experience with Modern Digital Infrastructure - Thursday October 13 2022: 1pm ET / 10am PT.

When the pandemic hit, all of a sudden we had to decentralize the way we were doing healthcare, but the foundation wasn't there. The nature of work changed dramatically. We are now in a world where delivery of care is primarily through digital means. How do we create and maintain a modern healthcare digital foundation with people and processes at the core? Just as the mandate has evolved over time from the basic Hippocratic Oath to the AMA Code of Medical Ethics, so too has the interaction that evolves around that foundation. The foundation has got to be able to support the core. How do you manage these systems? How do you keep them updated? How do you reduce the complexity of connectivity? How do you find the vulnerabilities? How do you create multi-tenancy access, so that doctors and nurses can perform different functions? The way VMware looks at modern healthcare is to ensure that you are evolving to support the people in the processes.

September 21, 2022: Now more than ever, healthcare organizations must give patients easier access to their health data and focus on reducing friction. The challenge comes with balancing the need for improved user experience with the importance of adopting appropriate security measures to guard sensitive data. During this solution showcase with Lane Williams, Director Solutions Engineering at F5 and Jason LaValle, Senior Solutions Architect at Sirius Healthcare (A CDW Company) we cover:• Attack evolution – Discover how attackers evolve their online schemes to take advantage of inherent vulnerabilities on web and mobile applications.• Countermeasure efficacy – Address the whole spectrum of automated application attacks and digital fraud abuse by abandoning traditional point solutions.• Identity and access management – Understand how healthcare organizations can protect PHI and their brand without compromising user experience or patient access to personal information.What kind of attacks are coming for healthcare? What are the inherent vulnerabilities that they're going after? Are we seeing a difference between web attacks and mobile attacks? Are there different types of attacks for different types of devices? How do you create a framework that addresses all of the different attacks? Having dual factor is critical but no longer good enough. You also need protection on the edge. What opportunities do we have to identify fraud within our medical devices? Is there an architecture we should consider to have in place?Key Points:A web application firewall product is very important because you can see exactly what the user is doingAttackers are increasing their sophistication by writing AI programs to basically duplicate the effectsZero trust is not a one stop thing.

What kind of problems arise as a result of starting on a security strategy without doing holistic assessments? We're all trying to improve cybersecurity across healthcare. It’s a never ending job, unfortunately, but knowing where you’re at across different mile markers or points in time, can really help guide you. How do you acquire the data that will allow you to evaluate and refresh your strategy as needed? What processes are in place? How do you bring new devices onto your network? How do you apply or enforce security policy? What processes can you vet or challenge? What technology do you have? Are you missing some key components or are there components that are not talking to each other? From a holistic standpoint, using an external third party can really help to find the gaps. That’s where Medigate comes in. They can help you to identify and quantify all of the threats and then manage those threats within and adapt your existing management structure. https://www.medigate.io/servicesThis is episode 3 of 5 on our series “Challenges and Solutions to Unmanaged Devices in Healthcare”.

Visibility is the foundation for zero trust. The reality is that threats in healthcare are getting much more complex. There’s a much broader attack surface. It’s extremely hard to know where all of our devices are. It was hard to know where they were before, which brings us to the question, is zero trust even achievable in healthcare? What does visibility look like and what does it mean? If you don't know what devices are out there or if you're not certain that they’re connecting to your network then it's really hard to apply any security techniques against those devices. Medigate created a single platform to help with visibility and understanding of what devices are there and what’s connecting to the network, so you can connect with confidence. https://www.medigate.io/This is episode 1 of 5 on our series “Challenges and Solutions to Unmanaged Devices in Healthcare”. Other topics we cover include Mergers and Acquisitions, Holistic Assessments, Improved Device Effectiveness, and Securing OT Assets. Stay tuned for more.

August 19, 2022: What was it like in the early stages of the pandemic through the eyes of a Secretary of Family and Social Services? Jen Sullivan who is now the Senior Vice President Strategic Operations at Atrium Health shares her thrilling and beautifully put story about handling the crisis, the vaccine rollout and other logistics at the state level through her fascinating lens. During the episode we ponder: What is the current status of the data infrastructure between states and health systems? How can we build behavioral health in an integrated way? How do we build novel delivery systems of care that go to people rather than our historic way where people have to come to us? What kind of magic happens when you combine an innovation hub and medical school all in one space? How can we best train our next generation of physicians? Are we seeing more virtual technology being used? How is that augmenting the training experience?

July 15, 2022: Rich Birhanzel, Global Health Lead at Accenture. The Accenture Technology Vision 2022 is hot off the presses. It reveals that the “Metaverse Continuum”— a spectrum of digitally enhanced worlds, realities and business models—is redefining how the world works, operates and interacts. We see businesses racing toward a future that is very different from the one in which they were designed to operate, while technologies, such as extended reality, blockchain and edge computing, are converging to reshape human experiences. So how do we make the leap and take the lead in the metaverse? Key Points:We are now starting to see some experimentation and early use cases around MetaverseSomething we've been after in healthcare for a long time, is the ability of the individual to own his or her dataIt’s really important to have a data architecture across the enterprise that defines who people areInternet of Ownership is such an interesting and important concept We have a clinical capacity issue globallyMetaverse continuum set to redefine how the world operates - AccentureAccenture

June 17, 2022: Today we have a special treat. Jonathan Manis, Senior VP and CIO for CHRISTUS Health walks us through his Opening Keynote “Re-Design Healthcare” presented at the Texas HIMSS conference. In this episode, it becomes utterly apparent that the healthcare industry needs a mind-shift. We delve into mobility, connectivity, consumerism and an alteration to “prediction and prevention” versus the “provision” of care to the sick and unwell. Healthcare can’t advance with a new approach until we stop using the old approach. How can we nix some of the complexity? Are customer experience expectations different across different countries? Healthcare consumers are stuck with what their insurance carriers’ want them to do. Will we ever break out of that model? How can we re-design healthcare?Key Points:In this digital hurricane world, healthcare is lagging way behindVenture capitalists are not investing in the delivery of better healthcare. Venture capitalists are investing in better healthcare delivery.I hate talking about innovation. We don't need innovation, we need adoption.CHRISTUS Health
