Vision & Approach
Today’s health tech and security initiatives go far beyond the CIO’s world. CISO’s, CMIO’s, CFO’s, clinicians and more are invested in and navigating a massive shift in how healthcare must be delivered, in how information is protected and how involved patients are in their well being.
Clients are asking questions like:
- “How do we realize the value from our technology investments?”
- “How do we train our non-technical employees on cybersecurity?”
- “How do we ensure our security posture strikes the right data accessibility balance for healthcare?”
- “How do we get our physicians to adopt our new systems?”
- “How do we avoid lapses in security training and how do we measure successful education and awareness?”
- “Compliance is overwhelming us, how do we get beyond just checking the box with a budget?”
Our Vision
Consensus practices on how to approach healthcare security and EHR optimization, at best, will have limited impact on bending the cost curve in your organization. Time and time again, we see that more effective strategy involves the alignment of an organization’s clinical, technical and security processes with their unique culture is a major influencer. This alignment must occur in small steps on a customized basis, as no two organizations are the same. Small success will allow for larger initiatives and capability for marked progress. First provides the experts to quickly identify efficiency issues, improve security awareness, and transfer lasting knowledge to your organization.
