There is a lot happening in Washington right now when it comes to healthcare security and privacy. Legislation is advancing. The HIPAA Security Rule update remains in flux. OCR audits and enforcement initiatives continue. New oversight around behavioral health data is now in effect.
For many healthcare leaders, the challenge is not awareness. It is understanding what actually matters and what to prepare for.
In this month’s Cyber Brief, Cassie Ballard, Senior Director of Congressional Affairs at CHIME, joins Andrew Mahler, Clearwater’s Vice President of Consulting Services, Privacy & Compliance and former OCR investigator, for a discussion on what is moving in Congress, where the HIPAA Security Rule NPRM stands, how enforcement signals are evolving, and what recent changes around Part 2 mean in practice.
Their conversation follows Clearwater VP Dave Bailey’s review of the latest threat activity and regulatory developments shaping healthcare security programs.
