Digital Maturity Assessment
Cybersecurity and privacy concerns are significantly impacting the healthcare sector. The massive Change Healthcare breach highlighted the industry's lack of attention to third-party systems, business continuity, and disaster recovery. This breach exposed a third of the US population to identity theft and caused a major healthcare clearinghouse to shut down for several weeks, putting organizations under financial strain. Data breaches have doubled in the last three years, and ransomware attacks have increased, affecting over 290 hospitals in 2023.
Robust cybersecurity measures are crucial to protect sensitive patient data, maintain trust, and ensure the continuity of health services. The financial and operational impacts of breaches and ransomware attacks can be devastating, making it essential to address these vulnerabilities proactively.
Assess current maturity levels, identify trends, and improve weak areas to address cybersecurity challenges. This involves evaluating strengths and weaknesses, optimizing security processes, and developing a comprehensive security strategy.
Enhance security by managing biomedical devices, ensuring these devices are secure and do not become entry points for cyberattacks.

Health insurance organizations face the challenge of a plethora of billing data but limited clinical data. New data-sharing tools and APIs mandated in the US make it easier and in some cases require providers and insurers to share data in real time. Gathering that data and matching up clinical and billing data has the potential to present a much richer data set that is far more accurate than billing codes alone, which often are submitted weeks after the care and are susceptible to incorrect early assumptions about diagnosis and other confounding factors of billing.
Proper data governance, including collection, curation, and transformation, allow organizations to increase the data's accuracy and timeliness, which are critical foundations for building more effective data sets.
Leverage AI and other digital technologies in the curation and cleansing steps and in the value-added transformation processes by hosting data in the cloud.
Ensure data is accurate, timely, and reliable to build the foundation for effective digital transformation. This involves proper data governance, including collection, curation, and transformation.
