A First Look at Healthcare Cybersecurity Under a Trump Administration
It is too early to make accurate predictions on who may lead specific health care and cybersecurity initiatives or what kinds of issues might be prioritized under the Trump administration. However, based on past actions and current political rhetoric, some high-level themes can be drawn. This iteration of Hacking Healthcare will explore some of them and analyze why they may or may not come to fruition.

Conclusion
As we stated at the beginning, there is a lot of uncertainty over how all of this will play out, in part due to the likelihood of infighting, novel legal and policy approaches, and unintended second-order effects. We will strive to provide a more in-depth analysis in the new year when the dust settles on congressional appointments, agency leads, and public policy outlines.
