In 2022, a task force of experts, convened by CRICO’s Academic Medical Center Patient Safety Organization (AMC PSO), produced a consensus-supported set of guidelines on how to manage health care cyber security risks and how to recover. Subsequently, the AMC PSO hosted a webinar that gives an overview of the health care cybersecurity best practices and patient safety risks. This activity has been accredited for participating physicians to earn CME credits.
