The MHA, in conjunction with its statewide Health Information Technology Strategy Committee, is hosting the virtual member forum Cybersecurity and Cyberattack Response from 9:30 to 11 a.m. May 9 as an ongoing effort to strengthen cybercrime and cybersecurity policy for Michigan hospitals.

This free, members-only event will feature six experts involved in their hospital’s cyberattack incident response, who will discuss detection, containment, eradication and recovery, and crisis communication.

Additionally, panelists will share how they:

• Detected a cybersecurity incident.
• Engaged with law enforcement and government entities.
• Reported data breaches to regulatory bodies.
• Partnered with vendors to recover data and restore systems.
• Worked with payers to navigate financial losses.
• Enabled alternate care protocols for the disabled electronic health record.
• Communicated with internal staff, stakeholders, patients and the media.

Attendees will also hear more about collaboration with payers and other stakeholders to mitigate disruptions and ensure continuity of care.

Chief executive officers, chief information and security officers, health information leaders, chief financial officers, chief medical and nurse officers, directors of communications, public relations and media relations, and financial and data leaders are encouraged to register.
