Everyone in healthcare knows training is important. How do you quantify or measure that training, though - and make it engaging?

Healthcare Continuity Planning & Risk with Adam Lee and Lisa Spivey (opens the original)

Sooner or later, a disaster will strike your business. Business continuity plans are common but they're uniquely critical in healthcare, where natural crises or cyberattacks could complicate or compromise patient care.

Read excerpt
School is finally back in session - from college all the way to preschool - and my daughter's long-awaited new favorite movie is in theaters. "Paw Patrol 3: The Dino Movie" presents an offbeat opportunity to talk about kid-friendly portrayals of critical infrastructure protection and careers, and how grown-up portrayals of the same jobs on "NCIS" and "CSI" shape expectations and perceptions among adults. This week, we're joined by one of our new IHS Project Managers, Erik Peterson, along with me
Calculating Criminal & Structural Social Networks with Dr. Nathan Jones and Braell Dotson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every actor is within six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. We can measure and chart that professional network - and we can do it with Mexican drug cartels and critical infrastructure assets. This week, we chat with Dr. Nathan Jones, professor and chair of the Security Studies department at Sam, and Braell Dotson, an enterprising recent graduate who coded a plugin to open-source software used by law enforcement to measure and track criminal networks.
