Navigating IT Outages in Healthcare: Ensuring Continuity of Care and Patient Safety

This summer the major CrowdStrike and Microsoft IT outage grounded flights, brought television stations off the air, and disrupted online hospital systems all in the span of just a few hours. When incidents like this happen, what does it mean for hospitals and how can healthcare leaders best respond?
