Secure Your Clinic's Compliance with New HIPAA Changes to Protect Patient Data

New guidelines mean mass retraining and potential workflow disruptions. Don't let your patients suffer as a result.

In recent years, data breaches and cyberattacks have significantly increased, posing serious risks to healthcare organizations and patient data. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is deeply concerned about the growing impact and potential harms of these incidents. In response, HHS has proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule to strengthen protections for electronic protected health information (ePHI) and address evolving cybersecurity challenges.
