On this week’s issue: Healthcare providers are struggling after the Change Healthcare cyberattack.

Questions to Stay One Step Ahead
From financial challenges to new regulations to patient privacy concerns, healthcare consultants have many factors to consider when developing solutions. Many organizations are looking to technology to fill in care gaps and address some of the biggest problems in the healthcare industry right now.
Cybersecurity and regulatory compliance remain as important as ever as many organizations struggle to stay afloat in challenging times. Innovation will be necessary to break out of this cycle of struggle. Questions to consider include:
- Cybersecurity and operations: Will the Change Healthcare attack leave providers cautious about working with third parties?
- Reproductive care: Reproductive care laws have shifted as federal politics have changed. How are providers preparing themselves for changing regulations moving forward?
