Cybersecurity & Medical Records:
Emerging Threats to Safety

Session Overview

Cybersecurity and ransom issues are becoming an emerging threat to patient and caregiver safety. Amar Yousif is the VP & Chief Information Officer for Information Technology for UTHealth at the University of Texas, Houston. A world-class expert in cybersecurity, he will provide the public health and patient safety view of critical issues impacting medical centers and hospitals today.

The “5 Rights Framework” we have used for pain management, emergency medicine, and end of life care will be applied to medical records by Dr. Charles Denham, the originator of the format. He will cover best practices to reduce adverse events related to the sharing of medical records during the COVID recovery.

A reactor panel of patient safety and security leaders will respond to the presentation. Chief William Adcox, the Chief Security Officer of MD Anderson Cancer Center will be one of the reactor panelists.

We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
