A broken system won't fix itself, and no one is coming to the rescue. Medicine is fraying under the weight of burnout, misaligned incentives, and systemic inertia. Yet, hope isn't lost. Change is still possible, but it won't come from the top down. In this episode, we explore how grassroots leadership, inner work, and community involvement can become the antidote to despair in modern medicine. Finally, we dig into the personal cost of service and the tools we need to heal ourselves while fighting for change.Guest bio: Dr. Andrea Austin is the inaugural Emergency Medicine Program Director at Sacred Heart in Pensacola, Florida.

Send us a textSecurity regulations are changing dramatically in response to major breaches, and the implications for cybersecurity professionals are profound. Sean Gerber kicks off this episode with a career announcement, sharing his transition to independent consulting after 13 years with his previous employer—a move that highlights the evolving opportunities in the cybersecurity field.The heart of this episode examines the recent UnitedHealthcare breach, where attackers targeted Change Healthcare, a critical system processing 15 billion healthcare transactions annually. The February ransomware attack led to a $22 million ransom payment and disrupted approximately half of all pharmacy operations across the United States. This incident serves as a perfect case study in critical infrastructure vulnerability and has triggered a significant regulatory response from the Biden administration, which is now promising "tough, mandatory cybersecurity standards" for the healthcare industry.What does this mean for security professionals? Potentially stricter oversight, increased financial penalties, and perhaps most concerning—explicit executive liability for security failures. As Sean notes, these developments create an increasingly complex landscape where CISOs must navigate not just technical challenges but also regulatory expectations that might lack technical nuance.The episode transitions into a comprehensive examination of CISSP exam questions covering Domain 3.6, focusing on message integrity, digital signatures, and cryptographic hashing functions. Through fifteen detailed questions and answers, Sean breaks down essential concepts like the difference between checksums and hashing functions, the evolution from SHA-1 to more secure algorithms, and the role of certificate authorities in public key infrastructure. These technical foundations aren't just academic—they're the building blocks of systems that, when implemented correctly, prevent exactly the kind of breach that hit UnitedHealthcare.Ready to deepen your understanding of message integrity and prepare for the CISSP exam?

Cybersecurity remains a top concern for many healthcare organizations as attacks continue to increase. On today's Monday episode of the Gist Healthcare podcast, we hear the second part of host J. Carlisle Larsen's conversation with Christian Dameff, MD, emergency physician and Co-Director of the University of California-San Diego's Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity, about takeaways from last year's cyberattack on the Change Healthcare clearinghouse and how proposed federal legislation regarding healthcare cybersecurity could impact hospitals, especially in rural areas. You can listen to the first half of the conversation here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The future of healthcare is evolving rapidly, and technology is playing a bigger role than ever. Pelu Tran shares insights on how AI, data-driven decision-making, and digital tools are reshaping patient care and the way doctors work. From improving clinical workflows to making healthcare more accessible, these innovations are changing the industry in real time. We also explore the challenges of integrating new technology, the balance between automation and human expertise, and what the next decade of healthcare could look like. How will these advancements impact both patients and medical professionals?

The healthcare industry remains the most targeted sector for cyberattacks in the United States. Last year had the dubious distinction of having the most patient records exposed in a year at more than 276 million. It also had the largest healthcare cyberattack on record, when UnitedHealth Group's Change Healthcare was hacked in February. Though we know that hospitals, vendors, and related organizations are particularly vulnerable to attacks, it's been difficult to fully secure them. Christian Dameff, MD, emergency physician and Co-Director of the University of California-San Diego's Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity, joins host J. Carlisle Larsen to talk more about challenges facing the industry and some common misconceptions about the motivations behind these attacks. This is a two-part episode. The second half of their conversation will air on Monday, April 7. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Security expectations for health tech vendors are rising significantly in the wake of last year's Change Healthcare cyberattack. Hal Porter, Director of Consulting Services, Clearwater, speaks with Alexis Finkelberg Bortniker, Partner, Cooley LLP, about how the climate has changed for health tech vendors. They discuss changing contractual security requirements for vendors, key areas where potential vendors are being more vigorously evaluated, managing risk involving AI tools for vendor management, fundamentals of a strong Incident Response Plan, how vendors should respond to the changing regulatory environment, and security recommendations for technology companies and others selling products and services to health care providers.

In this interview, we're excited to have Ilona Cohen to help us understand what changes this new US administration might bring, in terms of cybersecurity regulation. Ilona's insights come partially from her own experiences working from within the White House. Before she was the Chief Legal Officer of HackerOne, she was a senior lawyer to President Obama and served as General Counsel of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this hyper-partisan environment, it's easy to get hung up on particular events. Do many of us lack cross-administration historical perspective? Probably. Should we be outraged by the disillusion of the CSRB, or was this a fairly ordinary occurrence when a new administration comes in? These are the kinds of questions I'll be posing to Ilona in this conversation. How the Change Healthcare breach can prompt real cybersecurity change 'Shift Left' feels like a cliché at this point, but it's often difficult to track tech and security movements if you aren't interacting with practitioners on a regular basis. Some areas of tech have a longer tail when it comes to late adopters and laggards, and application security appears to be one of these areas. In this interview, Jenn Gile catches us up on AppSec trends. Segment Resources: Microsoft Defender for Cloud Natively Integrates with Endor Labs 2024 Dependency Management Report How to pick the right SAST tool In the enterprise security news, Change Healthcare's HIPAA fine is vanishingly small How worried should we be about the threat of AI models? What about the threat of DeepSeek? And the threat of employees entering sensitive data into GenAI prompts? The myth of trillion-dollar cybercrime losses are alive and well! Kagi Privacy Pass gives you the best of both worlds: high quality web searches AND privacy/anonymity Thanks to the UK for letting everyone know about end-to-end encryption for iCloud!

Data Privacy, Security, and Tech Trends in Early 2025 1. What was the scale of healthcare data breaches in the U.S. during 2024? In 2024, the U.S. healthcare sector experienced a massive surge in cyberattacks, with approximately 720 reported breaches compromising an estimated 186 million user records. This exposed a vast amount of sensitive information, including names, contact details, Social Security numbers, and medical histories. This is approximately 56% of the US population. 2. How did UnitedHealth handle its data breach notification, and what are the implications for affected individuals? UnitedHealth, specifically its subsidiary Change Healthcare, attempted to obscure its data breach notification webpage from search engines, making it difficult for the over 100 million affected individuals to learn about the incident. They used a “noindex” tag to keep it out of Google, burying the story of their breach. This led to widespread confusion and further distrust of the company. It also highlights how companies can use search engine optimization to hide breaches by burying the real stories. 3. What is GeoSpy, and what privacy concerns does it raise? GeoSpy is an AI tool that can accurately predict the location of photos based on features within the images, such as vegetation, architecture, and spatial relationships. Originally available to the public, it's now marketed to law enforcement and government agencies. This technology raises serious privacy concerns, as it can be used by stalkers or other malicious actors to geolocate individuals from publicly available photos. The tool is now available to law enforcement and enterprise users, and some versions of it are more powerful than what was offered to the public. 4. What restrictions were placed on General Motors (GM) regarding the sale of driving data? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) banned GM and its subsidiary OnStar from selling customer geolocation and driving behavior data for five years. This action followed an investigation that revealed GM had been collecting and selling detailed driving information to insurance companies without obtaining explicit consent from vehicle owners. 5. What is the UK's new digital wallet app, and what types of documents will it support? The UK is launching a digital wallet app called GOV.UK Wallet, allowing citizens to store government-issued documents on their smartphones. Initially supporting veteran cards, it will expand to include driver's licenses in late 2025, with plans to add passports, marriage certificates, and benefit documents by 2027. 6. What security risks are associated with failed startups and "Sign in with Google" features? Former employees of failed startups using "Sign in with Google" features are vulnerable to data breaches. Hackers can exploit abandoned company domains and the associated Google login systems to access sensitive information stored in business software like Slack, Notion, and HR systems, including social security numbers. This vulnerability is particularly relevant to startups that used the ""Sign in with Google"" function. 7. What challenges did Amazon employees face following the mandatory return-to-office policy?

Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed a lawsuit Monday against Change Healthcare due to a data breach in February that impacted more than 500,000 Nebraskans. The state alleges the healthcare company violated Nebraska's consumer protection and data security laws because of its weak security measures and delay in notifying customers about the breach. Nebraska is the first state to take action against the Tennessee-based company, but Hilgers says he expects other states to follow suit.

The killing of UntiedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been viewed in one extreme as a wake up call to corporate America and in another extreme as the start of a glorious Red Guard revolution. The problem with both views is that they neglect to consider important details. First, the AP reported that bullet casings had the writing Deny, Defend, Depose though a few hours later the NYDN reported they read Deny, Defend, Delay - reference to a book about health insurance companies called Delay, Deny, Defend. Second, the shooter's manifesto was published in several places with different spelling and grammar. Third, and most importantly, United Healthcare, owned by UnitedHealth Group, is still facing ongoing lawsuits over their business practices despite Brian's murder. Brian alone faced court battles prior to being killed while the parent company UHG, was facing congressional inquiry into the largest health data breach in history. That breach affected 100 million people exposing their names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and government identity documents, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and passport numbers. Additionally, the  breached health care information encompasses diagnoses, medications, test results, imaging and care plans, health insurance information, and financial information related to claims and payments. Change Healthcare is one of the largest handlers of health and medical data, processing patient insurance and billing across the U.S. healthcare sector, including thousands of hospitals, pharmacies, and medical practices. And so in the midst of this, not to mention how UHC was overcharging the government, a CEO is shot by a wealthy, successful, handsome young man who supposedly rallied against woke ideology online. Something doesn't add up. His designation as the Smiling Assassin may remind us of James Holmes as the Joker, or Aaron Alexis reportedly hearing voices in his head. These are the minds of the paranoid that Joker attracts in Batman. These tricksters create schism and drive wedges. Ultimately, no matter what one thinks the obfuscation of Due Process in favor of blindly murdering people without trial, or in the middle of trail, stinks of two things: anarchy-communists revolutionaries and powerful people who wanted a guy dead but who are happy to pin a hit on a random kid. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

All the NEO Murderer updates:Luigi Mangione/Brian ThompsonMangione attended elite schoolsBA/MS PennGilman School, an elite all-boys preparatory school in Baltimore: In his valedictorian speech, Mangione praised classmates for "challenging the world"Mangione comes from a wealthy and influential Baltimore familyMangione is one of 37 grandchildren of the late Nick Mangione Sr., a prominent multimillionaire real-estate developer in Baltimore who died in 2008Members of the Mangione family own the Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland, and Hayfields Country Club in Hunt Valley, MarylandHe favorably reviewed the Unabomber Manifesto: Ted Kaczynski's "Industrial Society and Its Future""He was a violent individual — rightfully imprisoned — who maimed innocent people," Mangione wrote. "While these actions tend to be characterized as those of a crazy luddite, however, they are more accurately seen as those of an extreme political revolutionary.""'Violence never solved anything' is a statement uttered by cowards and predators,'" Mangione quoted.He founded an app and worked in techHe was arrested while on his laptop at a McDonald's, the police saidThe complaint said that when asked for identification, Mangione gave police officers a New Jersey driver's license with the name "Mark Rosario." When asked why he lied, Mangione replied, "I clearly shouldn't have," the complaint said.Police in Pennsylvania also found a three-page, handwritten “manifesto” taking aim at the health care industry for prioritizing profits over patient care by two law enforcement officials, according to the New York Times.Some reactionsCEO killing, rage over insurance plunges UnitedHealth into crisisBrian Thompson's death has become a symbol of revenge over denied medical bills and lack of access to necessary care, an issue that some UnitedHealth employees say they're growing increasingly anxious about.The vitriol following the shooting sparked a reckoning among some UnitedHealth employees. Much of the public animosity was aimed at the way insurance companies prevent Americans from getting the care their doctors prescribe. Some employees grappled with the idea that their paychecks were padded in part by the practice of denying care.Witty, in a video to staff last week, attempted to address the rage but failed to change the narrative for some workers. “As you've seen, people are writing things we simply don't recognize, are aggressive, inappropriate and disrespectful,” he said, urging employees to ignore the media. “There's no value in engaging.”But:Before the investor day last week was cut short, Witty used some of his time on stage to acknowledge the widespread dissatisfaction with his industry. “You only have to walk into a room with five people to hear four stories of frustration. ‘I couldn't find a doctor, I didn't know where to go. It's too difficult to understand,'” he said in a room full of financial analysts and investors.The culture at the top was shaped for years by veterans of the defunct accounting firm Arthur Andersen, where Chairman and former CEO Stephen Hemsley once worked. A previous CEO, William McGuire, unceremoniously left the company and settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission over backdating stock options that regulators alleged enriched him and other executives.In recent years, a series of acquisitions have consolidated UnitedHealth's position so much that when a cyberattack took out its Change Healthcare subsidiary, doctors offices and hospitals across the country were paralyzed. That market dominance has come under review by the Department of Justice, Bloomberg News has reported. Members of Congress who have called for a breakup of the conglomerate.Thompson was one of a handful of executives who sold UnitedHealth shares after the company learned it was under investigation by the DOJ, but before that information was shared with the public, Bloomberg reported. The company's stock fell when the DOJ investigation was reported. Thompson sold $15.1 million worth of shares, according to Bloomberg calculations.Market insanity: rage of insurer causes murder of NEO, up 1%. Social media outpour of rage over insurers because of NEO murder, down 8.5%1-star McDonald's reviews and sympathetic merch: Companies try to stop online support for CEO killer suspectTed Cruz Accuses Luigi Mangione of Being a 'Leftist' Despite Social Media Posts Praising Tucker Carlson and Decrying the 'Woke Mind Virus'After thousands celebrated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's killing, now even top internet sleuths are not willing to help in investigation; what's the reason?“This sparking of online praise for the killing or the killer is shocking in nature”“some are talking about Thompson being one of those responsible for the fragile state of the US Healthcare industry, which is shocking as, during other cases netizens usually post videos, condolencesFrom the Indian English-language business-focused daily newspaper: “delivering profits of a whopping $16.4 billion, in the previous year alone”How UnitedHealthcare and other insurers use AI to deny claims UnitedHealthcare and Humana have been sued over their use of algorithms to determine coverage of care for some patientsIn October, a report from the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations showed that the nation's insurers have been using AI-powered tools to deny some claims from Medicare Advantage plan subscribers.The report found that UnitedHealthcare's denial rate for post-acute care — health care needed to transition people out of hospitals and back into their homes — for people with Medicare Advantage plans rose to 22.7% in 2022, from 10.9% in 2020.The rise coincides with UnitedHealthcare's implementation of an AI model called nH Predict, originally developed by naviHealth, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group that has since been rebranded.Algorithms like nH Predict can analyze millions of data points to generate predictions and recommendations by comparing patients to others with apparently similar characteristics, according to an article on JAMA Network. However, the article cautions that claims of enhanced accuracy through advanced computational methods are often exaggerated.Both UnitedHealth and Humana are currently facing lawsuits over their use of nH Predict. The suits allege that insurers pressured case managers to follow the algorithm's length-of-stay recommendations, even when clinicians and families objected.One lawsuit filed last year against UnitedHealth claims that 90% of the algorithm's recommendations are reversed on appeal.The lawsuit states that UnitedHealthcare wrongfully denied elderly patients care by “overriding their treating physicians' determinations as to medically necessary care based on an AI model that Defendants know has a 90% error rate.”Leaked video shows UnitedHealth CEO defending practices that prevent ‘unnecessary' careAccording to ValuePenguin, a site that helps users compare insurance plans' costs, UnitedHealth's 32% claims denial rate was twice the industry average.

During the interview, she explains how her approach to "privacy by design" involves working at the intersection of engineering, law and policy, and cybersecurity. Saima says that one of the challenges privacy professionals face worldwide is the fact that 80% of the world's data is unstructured. She also discusses what's involved in conducting a privacy impact assessment. To wrap up the episode, Saima weighs in on smart device technology, AI and digital footprints, and even offers some advice for people considering a career as a privacy professional.

In today's episode I speak with Wendy Dean, MD, is a psychiatrist and co-founder of the non-profit organization Fix Moral Injury. We discuss her book If I Betray These Words and the work being done to address moral injury in healthcare.  "Moral injury describes the plight of tough, resourceful, and resilient clinicians who feel trapped between the patient-first values of their Hippocratic oath and the business imperatives of a broken healthcare system." "Moral injury is distinct from other forms of distress or pain, including burnout. The two conditions may occur separately, or simultaneously, and may influence each other, but addressing one does not guarantee resolution of the other." Her recent article in The New England Journal of Medicine, titled Moral Injury and the Global Health Workforce Crisis, underscores the urgent need for compassionate care within healthcare systems. She is the host of the podcast Moral Matters with Dr. Simon Talbot, which explores moral injury faced by healthcare professionals with a focus on solutions and the need for change. More recently, she hosts 43cc with Dr. Matt Ramsey and they take an in-depth look at medicine's machinery tearing the patient-physician relationship apart and to stitch them back together.  Dr. Dean is a leading voice on moral injury in medicine, highlighting the impact of systemic issues on clinician well-being.  A passionate advocate for healthcare reform, Wendy fosters a culture of well-being and support for healthcare providers.

In February, a massive cyberattack nearly brought down the entire U.S. health system. Doctors are still reeling, and many patients don't even know their data has been exposed. Today, Dan Diamond traces what went wrong and the new scrutiny in Congress.Read more:Even if UnitedHealthcare isn't your health insurer, the company has probably interacted with you or your data in some way. UnitedHealth Group is both the nation's largest insurer and its largest employer of physicians. It owns pharmacies and home health agencies. One of its subsidiaries, Change Healthcare, processes more than 40 percent of the country's medical claims, acting as a kind of “information superhighway,” explains the Post's national health reporter, Dan Diamond. In February, hackers broke into that system and led to what is being described as the largest cyberattack ever in American health care. Behind the scenes, the attack froze health payments and compromised patient information. It spread pain across doctors and hospitals nationwide, especially in rural communities. It's still unclear how many people have been impacted, and the breach has yet to be fully resolved. The chaos and fallout brought UnitedHealth Group's CEO, Andrew Witty, to testify this week before Congress for the first time in more than 15 years. During separate House and Senate committee hearings, representatives grilled Witty on why basic security safeguards were lacking and, more broadly, whether UnitedHealth Group might have become too big, raising bigger questions about how U.S. health care operates.

There’s been a lot of debate lately about the potential effects of smartphones and social media on young people’s mental health. Some states like states like Florida and Utah have even tried to ban kids from using social media apps until they reach a certain age. But Mikey Jensen, professor of clinical psychology and director of the Interactions and Relationships Lab at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, said outright bans could do more harm than good. On the show today: How smartphones and social media are reshaping our lives. And why we should focus on the quality of kids' online time instead of the amount of it.  Then, we’ll get into the cost of a major ransomware attack for a health care company and its clients.
