Healthcare Settings: The Risk of Cyber Intrusion and Potential Impact on Pharmacy
Thursday, June 17, 2021
1:00 – 2:00 pm
Hospitals are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber intrusion. Significant downtime and knowledge around these types of outages limit the ability to provide services, which hurts both the patient and the healthcare system under attack. Join Randy Gerwitz, RPh, Consulting Director of Pharmacy, Vizient, to learn the tools used by hackers as well as how to better operate under downtime restrictions. An understanding of the process and limitations will help to prepare you in case of malware and cyberattacks in your facility.
