Visiting Nurse Services of New York has been overhauling its infrastructure in order to support an expanded range of care delivery services as it migrates to the cloud. It has redefined how it can better serve healthcare providers and patients with new managed service options as it modernises its IT infrastructure to facilitate a shift from traditional home healthcare to a data-driven future state.
But that fundamental digital transformation comes with its own set of issues, not least the requirement to manage risk – particularly cyber security risks – throughout the change process.While the solution is being constructed, another security specialist will need to do a risk assessment, which will result in a plan of action and milestones, according to Bain. Finally, when the solution has been installed, a post-implementation review or audit should be conducted to check that the controls are functioning properly.

This entails focusing on the most serious threats and advocating for controls to combat them. Ransomware, for example, is the most serious threat to healthcare cyber security, and phishing is the most common attack vector.
