Carrier Access IT Partner – Securing and Managing Connected Healthcare – From Asset Inventory and Device Utilization to Zero Trust Segmentation
Presenters: Ben Stock, Director of Healthcare Product Development, Darrell Kesti Regional Sales Manager
Inside hospitals, robots perform complex surgeries, Alexa devices serve as nurse call buttons, hospital beds are smart and monitor patient vitals, and HVAC systems ensure air quality in surgery rooms. The boundaries of healthcare are also expanding beyond hospital campuses with the growth of home healthcare and remote patient monitoring.
These transformative “hospital of the future” initiatives significantly increase the stakes for healthcare cybersecurity. Connected medical devices vary widely and often run outdated software, even though they are critical to daily operations and patient care. Unmanaged and unknown devices on the network introduce additional vulnerabilities, leaving hospitals susceptible to ransomware and other malicious cyber-attacks.
Every conversation about the future of healthcare must include a strategy for securing medical technology. What should hospital leaders prioritize as they work to secure their infrastructure? How can they identify all assets connected to their networks and take the necessary steps to secure them, whether they are IT, IoT, or OT devices?

Price Transparency & No Surprises Act Webinar
Presented by Barbara Johnson, BSN, RN, Senior Revenue Consultant, Para, CorroHealth Company
With the intent to empower patients and increase competition, the Price Transparency requirements went into effect on January 1, 2021. One year later, the No Surprises Act (NSA) added more regulations to protect patients. Simply put, the NSA protects patients from surprise medical bills that come from unknowingly receiving care from out-of-network care providers and emergency services. It also took Price Transparency to a new level by requiring providers to present a good faith estimate to uninsured or self-pay patients since January 2022 and soon issuing estimates to health plans which will use the estimate to provide an advanced Explanation of Benefits to their enrollees. Many providers still have unanswered questions about how Price Transparency and NSA affect their practice—and the steps they must take to comply with them. This presentation will attempt to answer many of those questions as we discuss how Price Transparency and NSA have evolved and where they are projected to go.
