Healthcare providers have long searched for ways to create resilient systems that prioritize patient care. In recent years this focus has shifted to the modern devices that provide increasingly effective treatments but also introduce cyber risk. IoT devices and their underlying infrastructure have proven to be highly vulnerable to a combination of cyber attacks and zero day vulnerabilities that are unpatchable and easily exploited. The challenges are further exacerbated by natural and human-made disasters that impact every aspect of care in a time of emergency. To combat these challenges hospitals must further improve the resilience of their environments from the underlying core infrastructure to the thousands of devices providing life saving and sustaining treatment to patients. Join Hector Rodriguez and Chad Holmes as they discuss how AWS is providing the core components of resilient healthcare infrastructure while also fueling innovative approaches to device security and patient protection.

The concept of creating a European Society to promote education and research in the specialty of thoracic imaging emerged from a small group of European chest radiologists who met together in Grenoble in 1992. These people defined the objectives of such an organisation and the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) was officially founded in 1993 in Luxembourg at the occasion of the founding meeting presided by Robert Dondelinger. The main activities of the Society have been concentrated on an annual meeting held in June in the country of the Society President. The scientific programmes of such meetings have included most advances in imaging techniques and scientific knowledge for chest diseases, and CME programmes have been delivered by the best European Faculty in thoracic imaging. Beyond the annual meeting the aims of ESTI include to provide recommendations and guidelines for appropriate practice in chest imaging, and to establish long-term relationships with the industry partners in order to convert technologic innovations in new clinical applications.

Payers and providers within an integrated delivery network all share the common goals — better outcomes, reduced costs and an improved patient-provider experience. The more innovative IDNs, such as University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, recognize the potential of virtual care cross-collaboration in achieving these goals. UPMC, which offers virtual care through UPMC Health Plan, has been an innovator in telehealth since 2016 when it began providing virtual urgent care to members. Today, UPMC has grown its program to include dozens of use cases, including impactful care management programs for pregnancy, behavioral health and pediatrics. As UPMC Health Plan’s virtual care strategy evolved, it began to identify new opportunities that bridge the gap between payer and provider and strengthen the care both can provide to members and patients. In this webinar, telehealth leaders from the payer and provider side of UPMC will discuss this budding virtual care partnership within the IDN, and how the health plan and hospitals are working together to use virtual care to positively impact the organization’s mission and goals.
