Trust is Patient Safety

Healthcare leaders already understand patient safety, but in today’s digitally dependent care environments, trust failures in software, devices, and identity systems can quickly become safety events.

In this session, Eric Clauss explores how connected devices, automated updates, and cryptographic trust decisions quietly shape clinical outcomes, and why traditional security models were never built for healthcare’s unique realities. 

Attendees will leave with a new executive framework: trust is not an IT function, but a continuously managed patient safety discipline essential to resilient, high-quality care.
