Winston Salem, NC— Kris Vilamaa, Partner and Chief Growth Officer at Mostly Medicaid, delivered a compelling presentation this week at the i2i 2024 Conference, held at the Benton Convention Center in Winston Salem, NC. His session, titled "Safeguarding BH and ID Service Providers: Effective Vendor Contract Management for Cybersecurity," offered critical insights into managing IT vendor relationships to mitigate cybersecurity risks in the healthcare sector.


==============================================

Vilamaa addressed a vital and timely topic, focusing on the unique challenges faced by behavioral health (BH) and intellectual disability (ID) service providers. His presentation shed light on the potential vulnerabilities inherent in IT vendor partnerships and emphasized proactive measures to reduce risks. Attendees explored actionable strategies such as establishing transparent communication channels, setting clear expectations, and implementing robust risk management frameworks to secure their operations against emerging threats.

“Behavioral health and ID service providers are navigating a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape,” Vilamaa stated. “Effective vendor contract management is not just a procedural necessity—it’s a critical component of safeguarding sensitive patient data and maintaining operational integrity.”

Vilamaa’s session also featured real-world examples and best practices tailored to the healthcare sector. He underscored the importance of viewing IT vendors as integral components of an organization's broader cybersecurity strategy. By equipping service providers with practical tools and frameworks, Vilamaa empowered attendees to take control of vendor relationships, ensuring alignment with their security goals.

The i2i 2024 Conference, renowned for its focus on innovation and integration in healthcare, provided an ideal forum for Vilamaa to address this pressing issue.
