Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity breaches and ransomware attacks are increasing in healthcare. This creates risks to patient safety by disrupting clinical operations, delaying treatment, compromising patient outcomes, impacting operational continuity, and imposing significant financial costs associated with system restoration, regulatory response, and civil/reputational damage.
How the Midwest QIN-QIO Supports Cybersecurity
Healthcare cybersecurity has evolved into an enterprise-wide priority essential to mission, financial stability, compliance, and performance. The Midwest QIN-QIO offers a no-cost advisory program to help eligible providers strengthen their cybersecurity posture through awareness training, readiness assessments, gap analyses, remediation plans, and tailored technical support. This maturity-based approach improves incident preparedness and response to ransomware and data breaches, advancing CMS's goal of patient safety, continuity of care, and health system resilience. Engage early to maximize benefit over the next five years.
Our goal is to ensure healthcare organizations are well-prepared to prevent, respond to, and recover from potential cyberattacks, maintaining the security and continuity of patient care.
