    Abstract:

    CXOs discuss the responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities that arise from M&A and divestitures.

    A merger and acquisition (M&A) or divestiture is a pivotal phase for any organization to navigate, but it is also a great opportunity for positive change. You can use the transition period to implement better processes going forward. Your role is also vitally important in the due diligence process that leads up to deals, as you’re responsible for reviewing technical publications, evaluating patents, and, ultimately, determining the valuation of the target organization.

    And, as all technology leaders have learned over the last couple years, onboarding, aligning, and working in today’s remote and hybrid work environments requires even more planning and forethought. Join your peers in a discussion about how to best navigate technology infrastructure changes that inevitably come with M&A and divestiture.

    Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO

    Sami Ramachandran, Sr. Director, IT M&A, Divestiture & Private Equity

    Many health systems have recently implemented virtual nursing as a strategy to address workforce challenges and support bedside caregivers. However, too often, these pilot programs have struggled to achieve scale. What are the strategic, technical, operational and financial constraints limiting success? How are leading health systems overcoming those challenges and what are the benefits they are achieving? How are CIOs and CDOs gaining executive-level support to approach virtual nursing as the tip of the spear for a more transformational journey to create smart hospitals and empower smart care teams? How should healthcare decision-makers be thinking about how emerging technologies like smart sensors, AI, ambient monitoring and spatial computing can transform care delivery and hospital operations?

    Over time legacy first-generation digital health companies have developed products that address specific, manual single-point solutions, such as fall detection, hand hygiene compliance tracking or virtual sitting. Unfortunately, these individual point solutions, in the aggregate, are further fragmenting already disparate caregiver and patient experience, which has compounded clinician burnout and impaired productivity. Add to this, the clinical burden of EMR data entry required of clinicians, disparate operational and clinical management systems, lack of real-time awareness of staff and conditions inside our facilities, and expanding workforce shortages are making current manual care models unsustainable. The healthcare industry needs a truly transformative technology to help alleviate these pressures and restore clinicians' ability to spend more time with patients. By embracing the integration of purpose-built AI-enabled ambient sensors, we open up new opportunities for optimized patient care, streamlined operations, and data-driven decision-making, better coordinating our most valuable clinical talent and infrastructure. Our homes, cars and phones are all ambiently aware and smart...isn't it time for our healthcare facilities to be even smarter?

    Privileged Access Management is a critical security pillar to protect the most powerful and targeted accounts and users within a healthcare ecosystem.
    Although most healthcare organizations have begun to adopt privileged access management solutions and policies, many struggle to fully secure the breadth of privileged access with limited resources, the need to keep critical systems up and running, and deliver care.

    In this session we will explore the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare security teams as they evolve their privileged security strategies, including:
    1. Core Privileged Access Management strategies including credential vaulting and management and session management / auditing
    2. Extending the scope of privileged security to often overlooked use cases including third party privileged access, DevOps and application to application accounts and access
    3. Balancing security with the needs to provide rapid support, uptime and efficiency in delivering care
    4. Managing privileged access as more applications and workloads migrate to the cloud
    5. Managing vendor and technology sprawl when implementing a holistic privileged access security strategy

    By engaging in this discussion, participants will contribute to a better understanding of the privileged access management landscape and help shape the development of solutions that address these challenges effectively.

    In today's threat landscape, healthcare organizations face a surge in attacks targeting remote, internet-exposed appliances, which are often required for both remote workers and third-party access. Zero-day exploits skyrocketed by 56% last year, with an alarming 67% focused on externally facing appliances and enterprise applications, leading to devastating consequences for the healthcare sector. The Change Healthcare breach is one high-profile example of the industry-wide impact of these attacks emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced security measures. But how do you balance security with accessibility?

    Join Zscaler and CrowdStrike in this webinar as we shed light on the challenges healthcare CIOs face in securing remote and third-party access. Discover innovative solutions that prioritize security while ensuring accessibility. Gain insights, explore best practices, and fortify your organization against emerging threats.

    Description: 

    High-quality, interoperable data is essential for care coordination, quality measurement, and preparing for value-based care and AI. Yet many health systems still struggle with fragmented, inconsistent, and poorly governed data that undermines decision-making. In this interactive session, we’ll explore the root causes of poor data quality—such as terminology misalignment, governance gaps, and data silos, and discuss their impact on clinical, operational, and strategic goals. We’ll also highlight trends we are seeing across health system clients that have successfully addressed these challenges, and invite participants to share their own barriers, lessons learned, and strategies for building enterprise data readiness.
