This session highlights the collaborative potential between nursing and business programs to address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in healthcare systems. Recent breaches, such as the 2023 ransomware attack on Prospect Medical Holdings and the PharMerica data compromise affecting millions, underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches. Participants will explore how nursing programs can integrate cybersecurity principles into patient care training, while business programs focus on risk management, regulatory compliance, and financial implications of breaches. By working together, nursing and business faculty can develop curricula that prepare students to safeguard medical devices, protect patient data, and navigate the financial and operational impacts of cyber threats. The session will feature case studies, joint curriculum strategies, and real-life examples to demonstrate how these disciplines can collaboratively enhance healthcare cybersecurity by ensuring that graduates are ready for cybersecurity challenges.
