Ever since I first met Censinet a little over a year ago, I’ve been impressed by how well the company can deliver value to an organization. When you look at it, it’s one of the simplest ideas I’ve seen that just makes sense. However, no one before them really addressed it because healthcare organizations were humming along doing this using shared drives and Excel spreadsheets. Needless to say, as healthcare organizations got larger they needed something more scalable to manage all the various vendors in their portfolio.
This is where Censinet comes into play. Their RiskOps platform helps a healthcare organization manage their risks across a wide variety of areas including: security risk, IT Risk, Supply Chain Risk, Legal Risk, etc. Plus, it enables a healthcare organization to benefit from a network of other provider organizations that need to assess the same vendors. There’s a real power in the network.
To better understand how their RiskOps platform works and the risks that healthcare organizations should be tracking, we sat down with Ed Gaudet, CEO & Founder at Censinet and Karl West, Former CISO at Intermountain.
To start off our conversation we ask them why risk matters for a healthcare organizations and how a healthcare organization should be looking at risk including mention of Censinet’s recently shared Healthcare RiskOps Manifesto. They also share the biggest challenges to managing risk and how organizations are not properly managing the risks to their organization.
Gaudet and West also share what RiskOps is and we discuss why spreadsheets and meetings isn’t enough to appropriately manage risk. Finally, I ask them to share what the number one risk to healthcare organizations will be in the next 2 years.
If you’re a leader at a healthcare organization that wants to know how you can better manage your vendors and the risks associated with your position, you’ll enjoy this interview.
