This week, Hacking Healthcare™ is devoted to looking ahead to what 2024 has in store for the Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) sector from a policy, law, and regulatory standpoint. We will be breaking down some of the more impactful polices, laws, and regulations that will likely affect the HPH sector in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) over the next 12 months.
As a reminder, this is the public version of the Hacking Healthcare blog. For additional in-depth analysis and opinion, become a member of H-ISAC and receive the TLP Amber version of this blog (available in the Member Portal.)
