Centralizing Vendor Risk Assessment Creates Transparency for Providers
The new service also relieves pressure on vendors by creating a mechanism that centralizes their standardized security assessments for view by all Censinet customers, as well as simplified scores to be published by KLAS and viewable at no charge by any provider.
It also reduces the customary overhead of various providers comparing notes with each other, as each one performs their own cycle of security assessments, prompted by annual compliance needs, or reassessments when systems are upgraded. Providers have been doing this via email or calling each other or texting forever, and we re sick of it, Miri says. So there s a lot here that s of value. For UT Austin specifically, we re growing so fast, as a city and what we re doing here to provide medical services, I can t take any risks anymore. I can t just wing it and say, I hope my small army of people catches X, Y, and Z in time.

The Texas Tribune
First, a pinch in the arm.
Then, a sense of relief and at the same time disbelief washed over Chad Bush, a North Texas health care worker. Bush, a CT technologist said he was the fourth person at Methodist Dallas Medical Center and among the first people in Texas to get the coronavirus vaccine on Monday.
“God, it s just, I can t believe this is happening,” he said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. “And I mean, there s a sense of relief for myself, but a sense of relief knowing that I m doing what I can as a health care worker to protect other people from this disease as well.”
