By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Joint Commission and the American Hospital Association have launched the Cyber Resilience Readiness (CRR) program to help healthcare organizations improve their ability to maintain clinical operations during extended cyber outages. The program emphasizes that hospitals must be prepared to provide safe patient care for at least 30 days without core technology systems, a standard that goes beyond mere regulatory compliance. Key areas of focus include integrating siloed departments like IT and clinical operations, ensuring board-level involvement in cybersecurity discussions, conducting realistic and extended downtime plan tests, and maintaining comprehensive inventories of all network-connected devices.
