Future HIT Leaders must be a valued strategic partner both internal and external to their organization.  They should be an active participant with their C-Suite in defining the organization’s future business vision while providing sound, innovative and flexible technology strategies and solutions.  As the provider’s community base expands, HIT Leaders must develop external strategic relationships to effectively support the organization’s short and long term business services.  This positions the future HIT Leaders to champion technology value and benefits required to achieve organizational transformation and success.  Attendees of this session will explore ways the HIT Leader 3.0 can successfully achieve technology deployment that tightly aligns with the organization’s business vision, strategy and services as well as participate as a key leader in driving the organization’s strategic vision. 

 

Learning Objectives:

 

Threats to the privacy and security of patient information top the list of issues keeping the healthcare C-suite awake at night. Health systems are moving from the traditional reactive approach to data security strategy to a proactive one, embodied in a new C-suite title: the Chief Information Security Officer or CISO. And CISOs are beginning to combine the heretofore split functions of security and privacy, balancing technology analytics, mobile and medical device initiatives with people-oriented  approaches like employee education. This session will describe a multi-pronged approach to cybersecurity that engages the entire health system ranging from IT firewalls to third-party security services and workforce education.
