NCCoE Learning Series Webinar Project Spotlight: Securing Telehealth Remote Patient Monitoring Ecosystem

Following on from last month’s fireside chat, “Telehealth Security and Privacy Tips for Healthcare Providers and Patients,” the NCCoE's Healthcare Project Team will delve deeper into technical cybersecurity guidance for RPM ecosystems, including:  

  • How organizations can enhance the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an RPM solution. 
  • How organizations can limit risk when implementing an RPM solution. 
  • How the NIST NCCoE collaborated with solutions providers that included HDOs, telehealth platform providers, and technology manufacturers to develop the reference architecture. 
  • How attendees can get involved in the NIST NCCoE healthcare sector efforts.  
  • How guidance from NIST’s Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things program on device cybersecurity capabilities can provide HDOs awareness of their biometric device acquisition processes.
