At the University of Kansas we're trying to figure out how do you not only use the data more effectively, but how do you gain efficiency out of it? We're applying a lot of different strategies, whether it's automation or aligning our teams differently. We're also doing more of the agile methodology within our Epic environment as well.

One of our strategies was trying to get away from the traditional complex backup system where you had one or two backup specialists. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but if you've got an emergency and you've got to find the backup guy, it can be a challenge and it delays our patient care.

You've got to take cybersecurity seriously. One of the things we've seen in the financial world is that we are forever being audited. And I would say, having been through them, they're not that rigorous. I think organizations need to be ready to subject themselves to an external assessment. Whether it's annually or every two years, you gotta take it seriously.
