Insights and advice from leaders of local and state biomedical associations“We at the California Medical Instrumentation Association have provided some basic educational opportunities to address cybersecurity concerns in healthcare to our members through individual chapter meetings. Speakers and presenters from healthcare systems associated with both healthcare technology management and information technology (IT) have shared their experiences. Original equipment manufacturers also have been involved in some meetings with their experiences on cybersecurity concerns in healthcare.”Gus Sakis, State Board Chair, California Medical Instrumentation Association“The HTMA-SC is doing nothing in this area. Our members are struggling with mundane issues, such as training budgets. We have little support or time except for trying to get our PMs done and saving money. IT has this responsibility.”Patrick Lynch, President, Healthcare Technology Management Association of South Carolina“The Healthcare Technology Management Association of the Mid-West (HTMA-MW, formerly the Kansas City Biomed Society) has been holding classes to expand the base knowledge of the members to include more IT topics. These classes include A+ certification, Network+ certification, and planned network security topics. The association is looking to have its members more active in cooperating with hospital IT departments to prevent breaches in security through the network, as well as giving them the ability to recognize when someone is attempting to access the network inappropriately.”Robin N. Faut, Educational Coordinator, Healthcare Technology Management Association of the Mid-WestThe New England Society of Clinical Engineering (NESCE) has addressed cybersecurity in several ways, most notably through education, networking, and discussions. The society has provided subsidized network training courses for several years that have aspects delving into network security.Barrett Franklin, President, New England Society of Clinical Engineering
