There are key steps to take when a healthcare facility is hit by the cyber crisis, according to an article on the Hospitals & Health Networks website.
A situation becomes a crisis when computers, accounts and networks needed for the hospital are affected.
When the crisis is identified, the first step is to alert leaders to the situation.
Healthcare facility leaders should never assume the organization can handle the crisis itself. Budgets should be set and authorizations granted so the recovery process can proceed quickly.
