As life-threatening and financially crippling cyberattacks increase, a new report from HLC and HLC’s HDGC, proposes a collaborative public-private framework to safeguard the healthcare system. Co-authored by Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, a multidisciplinary, integrated professional services firm, this report outlines private sector commitments and proposes public sector actions to improve our nation’s healthcare cybersecurity infrastructure.
A briefing document summarizing key takeaways from the report and framework is here.
During a Coalition lunch meeting, we welcomed both Matthew Thomas, Counsel for the Senate HELP Committee majority, and Dante Cutrona, Chief of Staff to Congressman John Joyce, M.D. Matthew provided an overview of Senator Cassidy’s Health Information Privacy Reform Act (S. 3097), and answered questions on priorities during the remainder of the Senator’s leadership. Dante consulted with member representatives on Congressman Joyce’s SECURE Data Act (H.R. 8413), acknowledging member feedback and concerns.
