Workshop on 5/22/2025: What Evidence Based Medicine Can Teach Us About Cybersecurity Research
Cybersecurity threats in healthcare manifest as patient safety events in addition to information technology challenges. Multidisciplinary academic efforts with a focus on evidence-based research and applied problem solving may help dispel established orthodoxy and “move the needle” on some previously intractable problems in this sector and others. This interactive conversation will begin with a short overview of the UC San Diego’s Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity published work to date before exploring current active projects and allowing substantial time for dialogue and questions.
Jeff Tully is an Associate Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology and Co-Director of the UC San Diego Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity. Tully’s research focuses on the intersections of safety, security, and equity in an increasingly technologically connected healthcare system by covering two primary domains: the patient safety and clinical outcomes effects of cybersecurity attacks on healthcare, and the validation of clinical applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools with a focus on ensuring equitable access to care across populations.
Tully completed his medical degree at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, followed by residencies in pediatrics and anesthesiology. He is board-certified in anesthesiology, pediatrics, and clinical informatics.
