In this episode of The Jon Myer Podcast, we explore the critical importance of Digital Employee Experience (DEX) in modern healthcare with Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO at ControlUp. Marcel explains how DEX transforms the way healthcare IT supports clinicians and ultimately impacts patient care.The average healthcare employee spends a staggering 30 minutes per day waiting for IT systems to respond – valuable time that could be spent treating patients. Marcel shares insights on how predictive IT support can identify issues before they happen, reducing downtime and frustration for healthcare professionals who need immediate access to patient records and clinical applications.Learn how real-time monitoring and proactive remediation are changing healthcare IT from reactive problem-solving to predictive support that enhances clinician productivity and improves patient outcomes. Marcel also discusses his observations from the recent HIMSS conference and how healthcare technology is evolving from hardware-focused solutions to software services that optimize workflows.⏱️ The average healthcare employee wastes 30 minutes daily waiting for IT issues to be resolved – time that could be spent on patient care.🔍 DEX focuses on predicting and preventing IT issues before they happen rather than merely responding to problems after they occur.🏥 In healthcare, time is critical – both for urgent patient care and for maximizing the limited time clinicians have with each patient.💻 Effective DEX allows IT to approach problems with data and insight rather than starting with "Have you tried rebooting?"🔄 Real-time monitoring (every 3 seconds) helps distinguish between normal temporary system spikes and actual problems requiring intervention.🚑 Slow login times, application issues, and connectivity problems directly impact clinicians' ability to access critical patient information.📱 DEX helps identify specific areas in healthcare facilities where technology issues occur, such as WiFi dead zones in certain corridors.
In this episode of The Jon Myer Podcast, we tackle the critical issue of cybersecurity in healthcare with Jeff Warren, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix. With healthcare organizations increasingly becoming targets for cyberattacks, Jeff shares insights on why these institutions are vulnerable and how they can better protect sensitive patient data.A staggering 84% of healthcare organizations faced cyberattack attempts last year. Jeff explains how attackers repeatedly exploit the same vulnerabilities - from identity management weaknesses to third-party security gaps - and offers practical solutions that go beyond basic HIPAA compliance.We also explore how cloud adoption and AI implementation are creating new security challenges for healthcare organizations. Jeff discusses the dangers of "shadow AI" and why simply meeting regulatory requirements isn't enough to prevent breaches in today's complex digital landscape.Whether you're an IT professional in healthcare or simply interested in how your medical data is being protected, this episode provides valuable insights into building truly resilient security systems in an industry where data protection is literally a matter of life and death.## YouTube Timeline0:00 - Introduction to healthcare cybersecurity discussion with Jeff Warren0:15 - Why healthcare organizations are prime targets for cybersecurity attacks0:40 - Alarming statistics: 84% of healthcare organizations targeted by cyberattacks1:32 - Multiple account vulnerabilities and third-party security challenges2:04 - The Move IT breach example and importance of vendor management3:18 - How employee turnover impacts third-party security management3:59 - Supply chain attacks and the "worm-type" behavior seen with SolarWinds4:53 - HIPAA/HITECH regulations and evaluating security beyond basic compliance5:47 - Why compliance should be viewed as "the floor, not the ceiling"6:40 - Navigating multiple cybersecurity frameworks and implementation challenges7:07 - Benefits of the NIST framework's prescriptive security guidance7:55 - Problems with organizations focusing on minimum compliance requirements8:11 - Moving employee security training beyond basic phishing awareness9:03 - Managing different types of insider threats in healthcare9:37 - Importance of understanding your unique environment and security risks10:38 - Cloud-based and AI-driven technologies in healthcare11:06 - Cloud adoption challenges and security considerations12:04 - Cloud misconfigurations leading to data breaches13:11 - The risks of "shadow AI" and unauthorized AI tool usage14:14 - Providing secure AI alternatives for healthcare staff14:23 - AI training and protecting sensitive data from external exposure15:14 - Public vs. private LLMs and implementing proper security boundaries16:33 - Risks of AI systems exposing data beyond intended access permissions17:14 - Developing proper skill sets for cloud and AI security management18:22 - Closing remarks and outro🔔 Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the notification 🔔 ✔ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/jonmyer/?sub_confirmation=1📱 Social Media Twitter: https://twitter.com/_JonMyerWebsite: https://jonmyer.comLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-myer/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wjJzdIwctq4o4pTXM2KSFLike my sounds?

Whether you're an IT professional in healthcare or simply interested in healthcare technology transformation, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of digital healthcare infrastructure.#HealthcareTech #VDI #Parallels #MedicalIT #DigitalHealthcare #CloudComputing #PatientCare #hipaacompliance
Key Takeaways
🏥 VDI provides secure access to mission-critical healthcare applications from any device, anywhere, enabling better patient care.
🔒 Security is paramount in healthcare settings due to HIPAA requirements and sensitive patient data - VDI helps maintain this security across devices.
🌐 Despite being 20 years old, VDI technology has evolved to address cloud integration, complex application interactions, and modern security challenges.⚕️ Healthcare applications like Electronic Health Records (EHR) often remain as legacy systems that aren't SaaS-based - VDI bridges this technology gap.
🖥️ The vendor landscape for VDI solutions has evolved, with options like Parallels and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop offering new capabilities.
⏱️ VDI reduces friction for healthcare professionals by streamlining access to patient data, allowing them to focus more on patients than technology.
🔄 Many healthcare organizations (40% in surveys) are actively looking for alternative VDI solutions with nearly 100% considering changes in the next 1-3 years.
✅ Real-world VDI implementation success stories include Athletico (5,000 physical therapy centers) and Allscripts EHR system (supporting 20,000+ users across 2,700 clinics).
