s1e06 New York's Historic Investment in Hospital Cyber Security: A Discussion with Colin Ahern, Drew Hanchett and Matt Wiley
Commissioner McDonald and Acting Executive Deputy Commissioner Morne have an open discussion about cybersecurity and New York's nation-leading proposed cybersecurity regulations and $500 million in funding to help hospitals safeguard health care systems.
Joining Commissioner McDonald and Acting Executive Deputy Commissioner Morne is Colin Ahern, New York's first Cybersecurity Officer, along with Drew Hanchett, the Department of Health's Chief Health Information Officer and Matt Wiley, an emergency preparedness and response expert, who also helped to draft the regulations.
The goal of the proposed regulations is to help strengthen the protections on hospital networks and systems that are critical to providing patient care, as a complement to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule that focuses on protecting patient data and health records.
