The healthcare sector is facing increased scrutiny and regulatory changes following a significant cyberattack on Change Healthcare. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finalized amendments to the Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR) on May 31, expanding breach notification requirements to include health apps. This move aims to enhance the security of patient data amidst rising cyber threats. Representative Abigail Spanberger emphasized the need to strengthen national defenses against cyber threats, ensuring that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is equipped with up-to-date protocols. Additionally, HHS has approved Change Healthcare to notify affected customers about the data breach, a decision supported by provider groups like the American Hospital Association (AHA). Experts like Chris Bowen, Founder & CISO of ClearDATA, and Toby Gouker of First Health Advisory stress the importance of adopting a tech mindset to safeguard patient safety and data security.
