Recently, ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) published their report on the top ten patient safety challenges facing the healthcare industry in 2025. The report analyses the most critical areas that the larger healthcare industry faces. Medcrypt CSS Axel Wirth share his thoughts on the report: "No matter whether the individual issues are emergent or have been persistent and have not been sufficiently addressed in the past, all represent areas where impactful change is possible. The list compiles a broad range of concerns ranging from risks due to “Wide Availability and Viral Spread of Medical Misinformation” (#3) to “Falsified Drugs” (#6) and “Deteriorating Community Pharmacy Working Conditions” (#10). Noteworthy is the presence of two technology concern, specifically “Insufficient Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” (#2) and “Medical Error and Delay in Care Resulting from Cybersecurity Breaches” (#4). Not surprising as any adoption of new technologies needs to balance benefits against the respective risks. But also, any technology, new or established, needs to be sufficiently protected against growing cyber threats. The thoughtfully compiled list of top ten concerns highlights the complex challenges of reducing healthcare risks as their root causes span - and are often a combination of - cultural, staffing, financial, and technology challenges. However, reducing risk and improving patient outcomes is a goal we all should strive for and share."

For over 25 years, the NVD has been the backbone of global vulnerability tracking. But since 2023, tens of thousands of vulnerabilities have gone unanalyzed. Efforts by CISA and private industry haven’t yet closed the gap. So how do we handle the growing backlog of high-risk vulnerabilities? Join us for a webinar led by Daniel Beard, Medcrypt Senior Software Engineer, where we’ll break down the changes that led to this issue, examine examples of high-risk vulnerabilities that remain unanalyzed demonstrate how LLMs can help bridge the analysis gap.
