Health Data Privacy, Access and Cybersecurity with Tina Grande, Terri Stewart and Connor Walsh

Who controls your health data, and can you trust that it is accurate, secure and available when you need it? Robin Strongin talks with Tina Grande, founder, president and CEO of the Healthcare Trust Institute; Terri Stewart, president and CEO of SYNCRONYS; and Connor Walsh, CISO and cybersecurity officer for the Americas at Siemens Healthineers. They discuss privacy, patient access and cybersecurity, including how errors can follow patients across health systems, the challenges facing rural communities and the growing use of AI in cyberattacks. Robin also shares her struggle to correct her late husband Brian’s medical records when Parkinson’s disease was listed instead of Lewy body dementia. The experience shows how inaccurate data can affect patient care, public health research and the search for new treatments. The guests also look ahead to the 2026 ADAPT Conference, where government leaders, health care organizations and patient advocates will address data access, privacy and trust.
