HHS has signaled forthcoming OCR guidance on AI in healthcare involving PHI. Organizations need BAAs with AI vendors now—not after the guidance publishes. A proactive compliance playbook.
The proposed HIPAA Security Rule doesn't say 'zero trust' but requires MFA everywhere, network segmentation, and continuous verification. A practical implementation guide for engineering teams.
The final HIPAA Security Rule is expected Q2/Q3 2026 with a 240-day compliance window. Mandatory MFA, encryption, vulnerability scanning, and 72-hour restoration—an engineering checklist.
HHS is eliminating addressable vs required safeguards. Encryption at rest and in transit becomes mandatory with a 240-day compliance window. What HealthTech API teams must change now.
HIPAA applies to AI logs too. Learn a metadata-first logging architecture that preserves debuggability while minimizing PHI exposure (request IDs, hashes, retrieval references, and reason codes).
Designing healthcare APIs around FHIR helps consistency—but security still must be engineered. Learn a FHIR-first approach to least-privilege scopes, resource-level authorization, and audit evidence.
Healthcare AI needs audit trails that resist tampering. Learn an immutable evidence architecture using append-only/WORM storage, hashing, and break-glass content access—plus how to test it.
