The information services (IS) team at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System (UI Health) was challenged by the executive team to improve customer service, to incorporate service delivery standardization, to simplify processes, to improve transparency, and to implement best practice ITIL workflows. Accepting the challenge from the Executive Team, over the course of many months the IS department embarked on a process to completely overhaul the service delivery program. During the course of this program, we struggled with how to change the IS department culture from an old “help desk” paradigm to an integrated, service-oriented culture. We found that we needed to do a complete process re-design, embracing transparency, implementing best practice workflows, and overall simplifying and standardizing. During this program implementation, the group worked to overcome many preconceived notions by the department, including a mindset of “this is how we’ve always done it.". Discussion topics include: 
 
  • Describe the key aspects of a service delivery improvement project
  • State the benefits of focusing on process first and ensuring stakeholder inclusivity
  • Define the future state workflows for incident, change, problem, knowledge, and request management
  • Describe the approach used to assess department readiness to transition to the new future state workflows
  • List the outcomes of the implementation, focusing on the associated metrics and dashboards for service delivery improvement

Breaches are on the news seemingly weekly, as organizations are struggling to secure their data. Phishing attacks are proliferating and going after our workforce. Ransomware has taken several victims and is also escalating. Healthcare organizations have become prime targets.

In this talk, I will share strategies to combat the rise of cybercrime, and how to make your networks more secure. I will discuss administrative, technical, and physical security controls. 
  • Have you built a sustainable and dynamic Information Security Plan? Have you shared this with upper management and gotten their buy-in and support?
  • Have you initiated a balanced Security Awareness Program? Are you regularly running scans of both your network and your applications? Are you monitoring your network to detect unusual activity? What about when that dreaded intrusion into your network occurs? Do you know what to do?
  • Are you testing and evaluating your security controls on a regular basis? How often do you test your Disaster Recovery Plan and your Incident Response Plan? Do you have the right people on your IR team?
We are entrusted with highly sensitive data. We must utilize best practices, but they cannot be "best" unless they employ both best privacy and security practices. Come learn if you are doing this and ensure that you indeed protect your confidential information.
 
Don't allow your organization to become the next victim of a breach.
