Healthcare leaders shouldn’t view hacking as a “what if” hypothetical, according to an article on the Health Tech website.

It’s not enough to discuss how to react. A formal written plan must be established, circulated among leadership teams and IT staff, and reviewed on a regular basis.
It’s also critical to review IT team capacities. Keep a list of trusted vendors and partners at the ready if a breach is unmanageable.
