Course Description

Overview

Explore how inadequate security controls in Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems contributed to the opioid crisis in this 32-minute Black Hat conference talk. Delve into the case of Practice Fusion, a popular EHR system, and learn how its manipulation by a pharmaceutical company led to the unnecessary prescription of opioids to tens of thousands of patients. Examine the role of a compromised Clinical Decision Support alert in recommending opioid products as part of treatment plans. Understand the devastating consequences of this manipulation, including mass addiction, deaths, broken families, and the strain on social support networks. Gain insights into the intersection of healthcare technology, cybersecurity, and public health crises, and consider the implications for future EHR system security and ethical practices in healthcare technology.
