Risks: Why Starting at the Finish Line and Running Backwards Wins the Race

Описание: Most Healthcare IT initiatives don’t fail because someone can’t make the technical connection. They fail when security planning, compliance requirements, and delivery timelines collide late in the project.

In this Interop Workshop, we break down why the best teams start with risk first, defining the finish line, then working backwards to reduce surprises, speed up delivery, and strengthen security outcomes.

We cover:
➡️ Why security planning must start earlier
➡️ How HITRUST concepts apply beyond certification
➡️ Real-world Healthcare IT risk management (what actually works)
➡️ Vendor inheritance, CAPs vs GAPs, and why your vendor’s controls can become your problem
➡️ How Zen applies a risk-register mindset across every initiative (not just “security work”)
➡️ A practical look at building repeatable risk + mitigation processes that scale

Featuring:
➡️ Ade Oyekoya, CISA, CISM, CISSP, CIPM, CCSFP (Plante Moran)
➡️ Derek Wayland, CISSP (VP of IT & Security, Zen Healthcare IT)
➡️ James D. Benson (CEO, Zen Healthcare IT)

Key moments from the conversation:
✅ HITRUST as a business and operational mindset — not a checkbox
✅ The real cost of HITRUST (and where ROI shows up: insurance, defensibility, vendor diligence)
✅ Why “starting with the keyboard” is the fastest way to create rework
✅ How Zen operationalizes risk management using a risk register (and how AI can support evidence + controls mapping)

If you’re responsible for integration delivery, security, compliance, platform operations, or vendor risk, this session will help you rethink how you plan work so risks don’t surface at the worst possible moment.
