As the tide of Covid-19 cases wanes, healthcare IT executives can now "pick up where they left off," essentially dusting off and getting back to the list of projects they were working on before the world changed. This approach, of course, comes with a myriad of challenges, including those around budgeting, staffing and using outside help to get the jobs done. But it's even more complicated than that. Should health systems even want to pick up where they left off? Are projects that were prioritized pre-Covid still valid, and are funding and approval processes being revisited? In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders who've been grappling with these questions to learn how they are leading their IT departments into the new normal.

Even before Covid-19, healthcare organizations were rapidly expanding beyond the four walls of the hospital into physician practices, retail clinics and homes. With Covid-19, that expansion exploded as employees needed to access systems remotely and doctors needed to see patients virtually. Unfortunately, with remote access came a wave of cybercrime, leaving health systems scrambling to lock down their newly extended networks. In this webinar, we'll hear from leaders about how managing digital identities is the best strategy to ensure you can stay secure no matter what the future brings.  Source: Securing the Ever-Expanding Healthcare Enterprise Through Identity Governance  on healthsystemcio.com - Interviews & Webinars with Health System IT Leaders

If you want to survive a disaster – particularly one in which both patients and employees are homebound – you need to view your organization “as a tech company,” says Craig Richardville, and that means being “fast and efficient.” Source: Podcast Interview with Craig Richardville, Part 1: “The Crisis Has Allowed Us to Disrupt Ourselves.” on healthsystemcio.com - Interviews & Webinars with Health System IT Leaders
