    We hope you were able to join us today for the community of practice call.  We had a great presentation from Bob Brooks @Bob Brooks on Cybersecurity and there was a lot of great conversation on the call. 

    Some great questions that were posed during the call by fellow members of the community are below.  Please feel free to respond here to continue the conversation or you can also message the individuals tagged below directly through virtual communities:

    @Tracey Roland asked

    Is anyone else in the position that security is controlled by a Central IT team? If so, what type of processes do you have in place to ensure coverage for your Health department?

    @Jonathan Ong asked
    what is your take or advise on IT locking down systems in response to 'Cybersecurity' instead of what you have discussed as a proactive approach to the issue.​​​​​​​

    ​if there is anyone who would be willing to connect with me and share what EMR/EHR you are using and what you like or wish your system can do?

    @Chris Clark asked
    Is anyone received or aware of federal grant funding to support IT for Local Health other than EHR/EMR grant programs?

    Has anyone participated in group purchasing opportunities for IT services?
