S2321: Building Cyber Resilience in Pediatric Practices: Preparing for the Inevitable System Outage

For pediatricians, the question is not if but when a cyberattack or system failure will disrupt operations. This session will provide practical strategies and resources to help pediatricians safeguard their practices and protect patient information from cyber threats. Faculty will share a structured guiding framework for consistent documentation, effective communication strategies for both patients and care teams, and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration during system recovery. Key insights will highlight proactive preparedness, adaptive workflows, and real-world lessons from managing prolonged downtimes. By sharing these experiences, we aim to equip attendees with a resilience roadmap, ensuring continuity of care even in the face of unexpected disruptions.
