A full schedule.
An unexpected outage.
What happens next?

Your patients still need you. Your team still needs answers. A technology disruption can put an ordinary practice day on hold.

Here’s where to start
FROM SEUN’S DESK

You don’t need to become a cybersecurity expert to ask better questions about your practice. This brief turns real incidents into a few useful conversations you can have with your team and IT provider.

01 THE REAL-WORLD LESSON
LOOKING BACK · FEBRUARY 2024

The disruption can begin
outside your practice.

Following the 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack, the American Dental Association reported that some dentists could not submit electronic claims and attachments to insurers for payment.

The practical takeaway: your office can be affected when a service you depend on becomes unavailable. Know your critical vendors—and what you will do if one goes offline.

02 YOUR NEXT TEAM HUDDLE

Three questions worth asking.

Bring these to your practice manager or IT provider. Ask for a clear answer.

01

Could someone sign in with just a password?

Ask which email, remote-access, and administrator accounts use multifactor authentication. Ask about stronger, phishing-resistant options where supported.

02

Who verifies a change in payment instructions?

Agree on a callback process using a number you already trust. An urgent email alone should not authorize a change to where money goes.

03

What is our plan if a key service goes offline?

List your critical systems, vendor contacts, and the person responsible for each next step. Review the plan with your IT provider before you need it.
