Cyber Health

Any of my healthcare contacts going to #HIMSS in Orlando next month?

Well done to Rolf Gomes and the Heart of Australia team for securing significant Federal Government funding for the next three years! This critical service provides essential medical support into regional Queensland. Places that the Queensland Governmen…lnkd.in/fR3wvxP

Implementing EMR systems. Given the fairly strong report from the Queensland Auditor General's report delivered today, is it time for a rethink of the one vendor direction? "Learnings to date indicate it will take longer and cost far more to realise the…lnkd.in/g-xdsTN

Bonnie Johnson, Michael Coroneos one for you both :-) #catsrule lnkd.in/fqVgJBZ

I wonder how these stats translate to the Australian #Healthcare market? "40% of healthcare workers would allow a colleague to use their work computer, displaying a disturbing lack of knowledge about #cybersecurity best practices."…lnkd.in/gMM5UhV lnkd.in/gNQUjBe

As someone suggested about the recent BA incident - perhaps this is more negligence than an "attack". The stats in this report are quite startling, especially the low incidence of risk assessments, particularly in light of those b…lnkd.in/fkyDXDB lnkd.in/fqyRFnH

Whilst I just had to share this article for the headline, there is an important message as well. Paper records can be just as much at risk as electronic records. #Security and staff #training must be improved. ? #healthcare #cybe…lnkd.in/f9KmSrh lnkd.in/fSkMiVn

A discouraging 30 percent of privacy violations involved repeat offenders, indicating that “health systems accumulate risk that compounds over time if proper reporting and education do not occur,” the report observed. And this in a…lnkd.in/frFrZ8J lnkd.in/fg7yyge

Here is a new (to me anyway) twist of the spoof email....hovering over the link is the giveaway.... #cybersecurity lnkd.in/faHjD2j

How secure are your #devices?  This includes ANY device connected to the network. "...We just saw how many hospitals still run ancient operating systems and protocols that expose them to WannaCry, Petya and Not-Petya.” #Healthcare #Cybersecurity lnkd.in/fqG7hEi

Another sleeping giant in the healthcare industry.  Important to have a clear understanding of suppliers' #privacy/ #security posture. lnkd.in/db5jxYm

Given I have been a bit vocal on the #MyHealthRecord, I thought I would go in and have a look at what is in my record.  It's been so long that I couldn't remember my password.  Over an hour ago, I clicked on "forgot my password" and was prompted to put in…lnkd.in/fFuQY-4

"... #healthcare data breach costs average $408 per record, the highest of any industry for the eighth straight year and nearly three times higher than the cross-industry average of $148 per record." lnkd.in/fxM39WZ

Important points to note here - ensure your remote access is secure, and ensure you have a well thought out #cybersecurity response plan. lnkd.in/fSgUqzK

My office for the next few days :-) #FraserIsland lnkd.in/fZurRHf

Brand-jacking at its worst.  You would think these idiots would at least use an English spell check!  Purportedly from Telstra.... Dear customer, Our billing system was unable to process your last payment. Please Verify & Submit your correct billing info…lnkd.in/f58yuMA

I have a feeling this is largely a foreign concept in Australia, at this point. #cybersecurity #medicine lnkd.in/f3WGCPG lnkd.in/f8Saw-z

Looking forward to presenting on cyber security/privacy in healthcare at the upcoming #Businessfordoctors conference in Sydney this weekend.  Thanks for the invitation Dr April Armstrong :-) lnkd.in/f5Rx2RA

An interesting conundrum.  Faxes may be harder to hack (I'm guessing the average hacker may not even know what a fax looks like!), but they don't guarantee delivery to the target clinician, they usually just arrive in the reception…lnkd.in/fVfbXu9 lnkd.in/fWtQfg6

I mentioned the other day that with GDPR approaching I had only one email asking me to opt in to receive information.  Well, that has changed over the last week.  Now I have many, but there appears to be two types.  One type specifically asks me to follow…lnkd.in/f6ZbgR4
