In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been starting to do a whole series of Healthcare Scene interviews on a new video platform called Blab. We also archive those videos to the Healthcare Scene YouTube channel. It’s been exciting to talk with so many smart people. I’m hoping in 2016 to average 1 interview a week with the top leaders in healthcare IT. Yes, 52 interviews in a year. It’s ambitious, but exciting.
My most recent interview was with Tony Giandomenico, a security expert at Fortinet, where we talked about healthcare IT security and medical device security. In this interview we cover a lot of ground with Tony around healthcare IT security and medical device security. We had a really broad ranging conversation talking about the various breaches in healthcare, why people want healthcare data, the value of healthcare data, and also some practical recommendations for organizations that want to do better at privacy and security in their organization. Check out the full interview below:
After every interview we do, we hold a Q&A after party where we open up the floor to questions from the live audience. We even allow those watching live to hop on camera and ask questions and talk with our experts. This can be unpredictable, but can also be a lot of fun. In this after party we were lucky enough to have Tony’s colleague Aamir join us and extend the conversation. We also talked about the impact of a national patient identifier from a security and privacy perspective. Finally, we had a patient advocate join us and remind us all of the patient perspective when it comes to the loss of trust that happens when a healthcare organization doesn’t take privacy and security seriously.
