The goal of this webinar is to provide hospitals with information surrounding the Illinois Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP), a resource designed by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to provide free take home naloxone kits to at-risk individuals. Naloxone is a safe and effective medication used to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives. Providing naloxone kits directly to patients with opioid use disorder who are at risk of a fatal overdose is a crucial step in harm reduction and preventing overdose deaths.  

This informational session will outline recent updates to the DOPP that have resulted in a streamlined and simplified hospital enrollment, ordering and reporting process. Guidance for how hospitals can successfully implement a take home naloxone program within their emergency departments and inpatient units will also be provided.

A quality cybersecurity program is a must-have in today’s healthcare environment. Incorporating lessons learned from the experiences of healthcare organizations that have lived through a cyber-attack—and emerged stronger—can help hospitals and health systems strengthen their cyber defense. During this webinar, information technology leaders from Enloe Medical Center in California will recount their multi-year journey from a 2020 ransomware attack to achieving a world-class, sustainable cybersecurity posture in 2025. You’ll learn how strategic investments and critical enhancements drove their success, including raising their assessment score from the National Institute of Standards and Technology into the high-performer range while consistently maintaining 100% HIPAA Security Rule compliance.
