These tools are worth implementing. They are not worth implementing without the right preparation.

This requires more than deploying the right technology. It demands a reevaluation of how these systems fit into the healthcare environment and how to bring patients and staff along.
When deployed within the organization's own infrastructure, voice AI unlocks these four concrete benefits for healthcare teams.
The first major update to HIPAA in more than a decade will eliminate the distinction between “required” and “addressable” safeguards, making key cybersecurity and physical security measures mandatory for all healthcare providers. This shift will expose gaps in hospitals’ fragmented security systems, though, according to Kumar Sokka, CEO of cybersecurity platform Acre Security.
As legal and compliance professionals, we champion privacy and cybersecurity in our organizations — but success requires a team effort.
Healthcare AI in the U.S. has progressed to a point where traditional, HIPAA-style compliance alone is no longer adequate. The next phase of regulation and market expectation will require continuous, medical-grade AI governance, and companies that don’t adapt now will be left behind.
If leading hospitals are using these AI tools, and the companies mention HIPAA compliance on their websites, are the consumer AI health tools also regulated by HIPAA? Do consumers share a similar relationship with these companies as healthcare organizations do?
How can healthcare providers contend with a regulatory environment that has never been more fragmented? Here are three lessons on why privacy is your competitive advantage.
As manufacturers play an active role in the patients’ healthcare journey, the boundaries between manufacturers and healthcare providers/payers are becoming increasingly blurry.
As healthcare continues to become more and more dependent on third-party vendor services, provider and technology entities must remain focused on the risks that their vendors present.
Across the U.S., nearly 700 rural hospitals are at risk of closure. When they shut down, the impacts cascade: broken continuity, delayed care, and increased cyber risk in every new system a patient must navigate.
From mobile documentation to emergency handoffs, EMS providers handle sensitive patient information in fast-moving environments. Understanding how HIPAA applies — and how to comply — can improve care, reduce risk, and build systemwide trust.
The bottom line is that while recognizing there is an issue is vital, too many healthcare organizations are counting on solutions that cannot and will not provide a sufficient line of defense.
If the guidelines for data sharing are not adhered to by providers, then all the work that has gone into revising this regulation will have been for nothing. But the road to compliance doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are three essential steps for healthcare leaders in navigating the soon-to-be Part 2 landscape.
