This resource describes the importance of and novel approaches to developing, launching, and maintaining a unified cybersecurity awareness campaign directed toward staff, patients, and partners/vendors.

This resource, created by the HITEQ Center in partnership with the National Nurse-led Care Consortium, provides recommendations to ensure health centers are appropriately reflecting nursing care in UDS and, where UDS is more limited, share strategies for documenting, tracking, and measuring nursing care in other systems.

This webinar series was hosted to support various roles who work with data in health centers to provide best practices and promote equity through data collection and analysis. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to meaningfully use data to improve their health center.

In this HITEQ Highlight, we aim to strengthen Health Centers' capacity to build their cyber-resiliency. We will cover risk management tools, methods for guarding against cybersecurity assaults, operationalizing cybersecurity to mitigate risks, and breach mitigation tactics. Participants will focus on safeguarding data across the entire enterprise and examine approaches to implementing cybersecurity infrastructure through risk management frameworks and strategic risk assessment. This session includes a case study of the Family Health Center of Worcester's Ransomware Incident presented by CEO Louis Brady.

This webinar discussed the importance and unique considerations for cyberthreats in pediatric health care settings, followed by a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) Tool walkthrough.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is an HL7® standard for electronic healthcare data exchange. This next generation exchange architecture is advancing interoperability in healthcare. FHIR provides a standard way to express and share information across health centers, providers, and related organizations independent of how local EHRs display or store data. For UDS+ and other information exchange needs, all health centers, PCAs, and HCCNs will want to be familiar with the basics of the HL7 FHIR standard. In this session we will discuss what FHIR is, what it basically does, how it impacts your EHR, and what it might mean to your health center and patients.

Are you capturing information like immigration or refugee status, intimate partner violence, human trafficking, risk of acquiring HIV through sexual contact or substance use disorder, or other information that brings up questions about how to document or code while respecting the patient’s privacy?

This health center learning collaborative series will present health center case examples that explore the privacy and data sharing considerations of EHR documentation of sensitive patient information, such as social history and social risk, and encourage participants to discuss the implications for health centers and their patients.
