D-5: How Technology Can Improve Care Delivery: Aligning Business, Cybersecurity and IT Initiatives
NAB– 1.25 Credit Hours | Wednesday, June 21st. 3:45 PM – 5:00 PM
Session Description:
Business and technology are intertwined more than ever before, and leaders at nonprofit senior living, affordable housing, and human service organizations need to make difficult decisions about technology that can have far reaching impact. To keep competitive these organizations can no longer rely on outdated, manual practices, and need to take steps toward modernizing operations and processes. Having a comprehensive IT strategy that is aligned with the overall business strategy – rather than one-off initiatives – is essential for organizations that want to rise to new standards of service and care, meet business goals, mitigate cybersecurity risks, and improve their consumers experiences. This session will help participants understand the importance of developing an IT strategy that is aligned with business objectives and designed to evolve with organization and regulatory changes. With the right IT strategy, senior living organizations can leverage modern technology to ensure that staff, residents, patients, families, and constituents receive the care, attention, engagement, and information they need when they need it. Participants will learn what their organizations need to do in order to optimize IT resources to improve population health management services for nonprofit senior living, affordable housing, and human service organizations. They will also hear about the benefits of integrating various systems, automating reports and processes, and delivering better, more trusted information. The presenters will also share best practices for evaluating new technologies and introducing new systems, change management, and actions leaders can take to manage today’s most prevalent cybersecurity risks. The presentation will include learnings from Alexandra Bretschneider, Cyber Practice Leader, JKJ Insurance, and Chad Wilson, CISO Advisor, Hartman Executive Advisors. They will share their perspectives on addressing cyber risk and aligning business and IT initiatives to improve the level of services provided to those in need. They will talk about their experiences with organizations that lacked IT leadership and strategy, experienced a breach, and how they improved productivity, gained efficiencies, became more secure, and adopted new technologies.
