In a previous blog post, our team evaluated the draft recommendations prepared by the Health Care Industry Cybersecurity Task Force in its “Report on Improving Cybersecurity in the Health Care Industry.”  

We recently examined three of the six major recommendations in the report and their potential impact on the existing health care regulatory environment. These include:

• HHS and a Comprehensive Health Care Security Framework
• Government and Private Incentives to Migrate Vulnerable Health Care Providers to More Secure Environments
• Development of Fraud and Abuse Exemptions to Foster Collaboration and Permit Shared Resources

For more insight, read our detailed review of the health care security recommendations above.
