Miscellaneous errors Insider misuse Physical theft / loss

Typical cyber attack incidents for

healthcare

of the incidents in an industry can be described by just

three of the nine patterns.

PHYSICAL THEFT / LOSS

Any incident where an

information asset went

missing, whether through

misplacement or malice.

INSIDER AND PRIVILEGE MISUSE

This is mainly by insider’s misuse,

but outsiders (due to collusion) and

partners (because they are granted

privileges) show up as well.

Potential culprits come from every

level of the business, from the

frontline to the boardroom.

MISCELLANEOUS ERRORS

Incidents where unintentional

actions directly compromised

a security attribute of an

information asset. This does

not include lost devices,

which is grouped with theft

instead.

Staff safety

Workplace violence Even though you know that workplace

violence occurs more frequently in

certain departments—including ED,

mental health, geriatrics, and substance

abuse—it’s very difficult to predict and

prevent staff duress

Staff duress during emergency

situations

High turnover, low morale in certain

departments particularly the ED

due to with frequent staff duress

Staff members get injured, injury

claims push up costs and overtime

needed to cover absent caregivers’

shifts

Pharmacy inventory management

Little or no inventory visibility

causing overstocking to

compensate

Increased risk to patient safety due

to product expiration or

unavailability

Inefficient manual processes

Complex payment structures and

regulations

Data disconnection between

inventory costs and procedural

measures

8 to 10% of items expire annually in procedure rooms and

as much as 15% of critical assets are lost

Stanley Healthcare

Healthcare asset tracking and

management

Productivity losses due to manual

processes to manage capital and rental

equipment

“Squirrel stores” due to equipment

availability

Having a hard time locating needed

equipment, health systems end up

purchasing or renting more than they

actually need

Patient dissatisfaction due to waiting for

equipment when staff have difficulty

locating it

40% of nurses report spending up to one hour per shift

searching for equipment
