The Impact on Patient Care with Technology Disruptions
Researchers at CNS have been actively studying the implications of technology disruptions on healthcare delivery.
A recent study published in JAMA, “Patient Care Technology Disruptions Associated With the CrowdStrike Outage,” examines the effects of the outage on patient care.
CNS researchers, including Sumanth Rao, Stefan Savage, Geoffrey M. Voelker, and Christian J. Dameff from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering have been working on projects related to healthcare cybersecurity and the impact of digital infrastructure outages on hospital operations. Their research aims to develop innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of such disruptions and ensure the continuity of patient care. The study’s findings emphasize the need for robust digital infrastructure and effective cybersecurity measures to protect patient care from technological failures and cyber threats.
