We Can't Prove It. Here's How We Fix That.\n\n Ransomware attacks on hospitals kill people. That's not a hypo thesis\n — it's in the data. A peer-reviewed analysis of Medicare clai ms\n (American Economic Journal: Economic Policy\, 2026) puts in-hospita l\n mortality at 34 to 38 percent higher during attacks. The dead are\n disproportionately elderly\, critically ill\, and patients of color.\n Dameff et al. (2023) documented emergency department spillover.\n Nepra sh\, Dameff\, and Tully (2024) traced the same pattern through the\n Cha nge Healthcare attack.\n\n The mechanism isn't exotic. Encrypted EHRs me an clinicians are flying\n blind — no medication history\, no imaging\ , no labs. Networked\n infusion pumps\, ventilators\, and monitors drop to manual. Ambulances\n get diverted\, stacking patients at facilities t hat weren't hit. In\n rural areas\, transfer times go from nine minutes to thirty-three.\n Here's the deeper problem: these deaths are architect urally invisible.\n\n No ICD code exists for "died because the hospital' s network was\n encrypted." No death certificate asks whether the hospit al was under\n cyberattack. No public health surveillance system capture s excess\n mortality from clinical failure caused by ransomware. Mandato ry\n reporting requirements attach to data breach — not patient harm.\ n Voluntary harm-reporting channels exist\, but they're anonymous and\n sporadic. The visible signal is a fraction of what's actually\n happen ing.\n\n This isn't a technical gap. It's a design failure in the detect ion\n infrastructure itself.\n\n This talk makes the case for cyber-ha rm epidemiology. Using a\n forthcoming law review article\, we show that existing systems — ICD\n external-cause coding\, NCHS disaster-death certification\, SNOMED CT\n alignment\, the Sendai Framework's Hazard In formation Profiles (2025)\n and Global Disaster-Related Statistics Frame work (2026) — can be\n adapted right now to make cyber-attributable pa tient deaths visible at\n population scale. No new treaties required.\n\ n Better detection produces better attribution. Better attribution makes \n state obligations under the right to life and the protection of\n m edical units enforceable — not aspirational.\n\n The deaths are real. The tools to count them exist. We just haven't\n connected them yet. Tha t's what this talk is about.\n\n Speakers:Jorge Acevedo Canabal\,Scott S hackelford\,Szymon Skalski\n\n SpeakerBio: Jorge Acevedo Canabal\, Ostr om Workshop Indiana University\n US\n\n Jorge Acevedo Canabal\, MD (Un iversity of Puerto Rico School of\n Medicine\, Magna Cum Laude)\, is a p hysician and Visiting Scholar at the\n Ostrom Workshop\, Indiana Univers ity\, working on research that sits at\n the intersection of healthcare\ , public health\, and cybersecurity\,\n applying epidemiological and dis aster medicine methods to map patient\n harm attributable to healthcare cyberattacks and technological\n hazards.
