Hospitals across the United States continue to be targets of ransomware and other types of cyberattacks. Not only can these events result in significant and costly breaches of patient information, but they also threaten hospital operations and patient outcomes. System encryption can result in denial of access to life-saving information and medical equipment, while recovery diverts resources from essential operations. Enterprise-wide education on risks and prevention continues to be critical to an organization’s cyber defense strategy. The Kentucky Hospital Association is proud to partner with the American Hospital Association and Stites & Harbison to provide this important series of educational opportunities.
