Hospital Cyberattacks Continue to Rise: This should come as a surprise to nobody, but the biggest data risk to pretty much everyone in the healthcare industry is the risk of cyberattacks, particularly ransomware.  I have had several clients who have suffered ransomware attacks.  These always disrupt care to some extent, and fortunately my clients have not suffered any patient care problems, but others have.  However, they all have had to spend extremely large sums to fix the problems, and many have suffered the follow-on effect of the class action lawsuit by patients whose data was involved.

If you aren't focusing on this now, you need to.
