Cybersecurity Action Steps

The global cyberattacks that occurred recently caused a great amount of concern not only for cybersecurity and IT professionals but also with medical practice leaders. A catastrophic loss of data could be devastating to a practice. The negative impact on an organization’s reputation could lead to lost referrals, patients leaving the practice, as well as diminished staff morale. Unrecoverable clinical information could also significantly impact a physician’s ability to deliver high-quality patient care.
