The survey asked more than 600 companies in April 2022 about the state of their IT security systems, including healthcare organizations.

It found that 54 percent of healthcare organizations said that they’d experienced a third party data breach in the past 12 months, and 65 percent said that they felt their IT systems don’t make security and access a top priority. More than half of the companies surveyed also said that managing third-party security was a burden.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
