Information Security Governance in Healthcare

Inquiry This course is not yet bookable.

Information security in healthcare must account for consequences for care and operations. For one care process, you assess information risks and decide which safeguards are needed, who is responsible and when to review them. Your plan supports discussion between senior leadership, clinical leads and information security.

For one care process, examine the information, systems and providers it needs. Assign safeguards and decisions to clinical, technical and management roles, and record fallback procedures and handovers.

In the course case, a diagnostic-results platform may be compromised while reliable results are needed for urgent care. Compare isolation, restricted operation and a paper procedure, including their prerequisites. Choose a provisional option and set a review point and assign clinical and technical responsibilities for it. The course covers the German and European context; applicable legal requirements, including data protection, require separate assessment.

What you will work on

  • Map information dependencies and care consequences for one process
  • Prioritise controls according to information risk and consequences for care
  • Assess the impact of isolation and fallback procedures on access to results

Who it is for

  • Leaders of healthcare organisations
  • Information security officers in healthcare
  • Leads for clinical processes and IT governance
