Health systems are increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure, yet many remain unprepared for prolonged IT outages caused by cyberattacks or technical failures. This webinar brings together IT executives to discuss the critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including the possible disconnect between IT and business leadership, the lack of standardized downtime procedures, and the challenge of engaging clinical and business leaders in continuity planning. Panelists will explore the evolving role of CIOs in guiding organizations through risk assessments, governance structures, preparedness, training, and simulations —without taking sole ownership of crisis management. With ransomware threats rising and dependency on technology growing, health systems must move beyond prevention to ensure operational resilience. Attendees will gain insights into governance strategies and practical approaches for bridging the preparedness and operational gaps before the next major disruption occurs.
