A CIOs Blueprint for Healthcare IT: Ensuring a Secure and Resilient Future

Healthcare organizations all over the nation are finding themselves in the news: in precarious situations, underprepared, under a cyberattack and transferring patients to neighboring hospitals. It’s time to reduce your exposure and build the appropriate IT team and partnerships so you and your essential healthcare organization are better prepared for these situations. We know these pressures and partner with healthcare CIOs, like you, to navigate the complexity of today’s world. The right IT partner knows what it takes to withstand a security incident and how to put the right tools and processes in place to reassure your CEO that your organization is prepared.

The Challenge

These are likely your greatest challenges:

Data overload

The healthcare industry generates vast amounts of data, but much of it remains fragmented and difficult to access. CIOs must find ways to integrate and manage this data so that it can be used to improve patient care, reduce costs, and make better decisions.

Your security threats and IT requirements continue to grow

The healthcare industry is a prime target for cyberattacks, as patient data is highly valuable and can be used for identity theft, fraud, and other crimes. CIOs must implement strong cybersecurity measures to protect patient data and ensure the integrity of healthcare systems.

Your internal team is struggling to keep up with all the innovation and digital transformations

The healthcare industry is undergoing a period of rapid change, as new technologies are emerging with the potential to transform the way that care is delivered. CIOs must stay abreast of these new technologies and find ways to implement them in their organizations in order to improve patient care and reduce costs.

In addition to these concerns, flat or decreasing budgets and a shrinking IT talent pool are exasperating the issue.

The Value of a technology partner

As a healthcare CIO, you are under pressure to ensure your entity’s technology is the best it can be. Yet simply managing your own IT infrastructure requires specialized skills and resources which you may not have available to you. Partnering with an outside IT specialist or managed services provider, like Huber & Associates, allows you to extend your teams’ technical accuracy and maximize the impact of your resources, both people and money.

With the support of a managed services provider, you can focus on patient care knowing your IT infrastructure and data are in good hands.

The Time is Now

Recently, a CIO shared that he only made the financial investment in a quality security program after being the victim of an attack. His entire organization was shut down in minutes because he wasn’t properly prepared. Partnering with Huber & Associates gives you more affordable access to the best security tools in the industry.
