HITEQ Health Center Cybersecurity Defender Against the Dark Web

Health Centers are being inundated by an unprecedented surge in cybersecurity incidents that are having detrimental effects on healthcare worldwide. New, sophisticated threats seem to appear on a daily basis. Most importantly, these threats are primarily being targeted and spread through end users (vs health IT systems) through social engineering and phishing attack methods. 

Healthcare cybersecurity is the ultimate team sport. The responsibility goes beyond the IT staff and includes front and back office staff, doctors and nurses, patients, executives, and the board of directors. These resources are directed at all levels of the healthcare organization so that they may be proactive and aware and help to defend Health Centers against the Dark Web.

Take some time to read through some of the articles on this page and then fill out the submission form on the right and you will be rewarded with a Health Center Defender Against the Dark Web badge! This is an official badge that is submitted by the HITEQ Center as a proof of completion to the blockchain. Your credentials can be added to profiles such as LinkedIn and verified through accreditation services such as Accredible and Open Badge.

Two-Part Series: Navigating a Shifting Landscape: Patient Privacy, Access, and Health Center Compliance

Session 2: At the Record Level: What to Document, What to Disclose, and What to Protect

As privacy regulations, AI policies, and digital health technologies evolve, health centers face increasing complexity in balancing compliance with patient-centered care. This two-part webinar series offers timely, practical guidance to help health center teams navigate the changing landscape.

Building on the regulatory foundation laid in Part 1, this session turns to the front lines: the provider-patient interaction and how sensitive information is recorded, protected, and shared within the EHR. We’ll explore real-world decision points—like whether and how to remove documentation to comply with executive orders, or how to balance claims documentation with patient privacy. Participants will gain clarity on what constitutes the designated record set, the mechanics and legalities of proxy and third-party access, and when and how exceptions like 42 CFR Part 2 or Title X confidential service protections apply. Expect practical guidance on implementing policies that are legally sound, operationally feasible, and patient-centered.
