Summary
The Health Sector Coordinating Council (HSCC) is calling on the Trump administration to abandon proposed updates to the HIPAA security rule initiated during the final days of the Biden administration. HSCC urges for a collaborative approach among the White House, federal regulators, and healthcare leaders to develop feasible and effective cybersecurity standards that promote patient safety. Executive Director Greg Garcia highlights concerns about the potential impracticality and costs of the proposed regulations, which may confuse compliance efforts. The HSCC has submitted a policy proposal advocating for a year-long dialogue to establish best practice cybersecurity requirements instead of developing strict regulations in isolation.
