Ascension is the latest victim of a suspected #cyberattack. The attack began yesterday around 7 AM and is still ongoing. Mandiant (now part of Google Cloud) has been brought in. It appears to have affected all 140 hospitals across 19 states.https://lnkd.in/eXPmUfu5

Interesting article on #pricetransparency regulations. I appreciate Noah Tong—when he writes, he always has a broad perspective, gleaning a broad set of views. I agree with the assertion that regulation is here to stay. And there are lots of ways that this information will become more #accessible. https://lnkd.in/eGScAK8d

I joined Leavitt Partners for their leadership in #digitalhealth and #interoperability, but have learned so much about the importance of #healthcare policy and its ability to affect peoples' lives. Josh Trent--a true #leader in the field--put together a wide array of critical stakeholders and #patientadvocates to develop concreate recommendations that can really make a difference: Jeff Caballero and Adam Carbullido from the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Michael Ward from the Alliance for Aging Research, Anna Hyde at Arthritis Foundation, Kim Czubaruk at CancerCare, Brandon G. Wilson, DrPH, MHA at Community Catalyst, Emily Roberts at Genentech, Michael Reese Wittke at the National Alliance for Caregiving, Ivory Harding, MS from the National Kidney Foundation and Ashley Valentine, MRes at Sick Cells .

For those following the Change Healthcare #cyberattack, there may be more answers tomorrow as the CEO will be testifying in both the #senate and #house. According to testimony submitted in advance, the hackers gained access by using their Citrix virtual desktop using a valid ID and password where #multifactorauthentication was not enabled. Most of their systems are secured with #mfa. https://lnkd.in/eSeVKAty
