The challenge is in digitalization, bringing more quality management to health, says Joaquim Cunha, executive director of Health Cluster Portugal.
Ali Youssef, a cybersecurity director at Henry Ford Health, says specialized tools can detect and limit attacks before they spread, but health systems should take the approach of assuming that bad actors are already on their network to be able to react quickly.
Nicholas Bunger, data engineer at Balgrist University Hospital, said the five-year journey to EMRAM Stage 6 status has resulted in more efficient operations and has enabled better reactivity among clinical experts.
Todd Gottula, president and cofounder of Clarify Health, says obtaining and cleansing data assets can drive better outcomes, but the presentation matters almost as much as the data itself.
