This Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under CFDA 93.226 - Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes provides $393,974 to Thomas Jefferson University to develop innovative methods and tools to improve ransomware attack response resiliency in radiation oncology departments.

The key products and services to be delivered include:

  • Developing design goals for ransomware resiliency through staff interviews, patient advisory board engagement, and simulated ransomware attack exercises
  • Creating novel software functionality for robust data backups, minimum viable treatment planning, and AI-based imaging checks to enable rapid recovery from ransomware attacks
  • Longitudinally implementing and iterating the developed innovations across diverse healthcare settings

The project will also include sub-awards to the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Colorado-Denver to support the cyber resiliency exercises, AI method development, and implementation science activities. This work aims to improve outcomes for cancer patients receiving radiotherapy at institutions impacted by ransomware attacks by reducing recovery time, preventing medical errors, and mitigating barriers for patients with adverse social determinants of health.
