Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago faced challenges in nursing professional development due to reliance on paper competency checklists, leading to inefficiencies in tracking and accreditation compliance.

Summer 2025 Cyberattacks Devastate Healthcare and Retail Sectors

August 7, 2025

In Summer 2025, healthcare facilities faced a dramatic surge in cyberattacks, particularly ransomware assaults, which exploited their reliance on operational continuity and valuable patient data. The rise of sophisticated threats, such as the Interlock group's "FileFix" launcher and tactics from groups like Rhysida and Qilin, illustrated vulnerabilities in healthcare cybersecurity, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced protective measures. As cybercriminals expanded their focus beyond healthcare to include major retail and insurance firms, the evolving tactics showcased the broader implications of cyber threats for all sectors, thereby underscoring the necessity for healthcare professionals to prioritize cybersecurity. Amidst this turmoil, the involvement of nation-state actors further complicated the landscape, signaling a critical moment for healthcare technology stakeholders to reassess their defense strategies against increasingly coordinated digital threats.

Illinois Bans AI from Making Therapy Decisions to Protect Patients

August 7, 2025

Emphasizing patient welfare, the law reflects a growing recognition among healthcare professionals of the potential dangers of AI in sensitive therapeutic settings.
