The core of the 2026 update is simple:

 

Technical loopholes have been closed. Nearly all previously "addressable" specifications are now strictly mandatory.

 

Regulators no longer care about your documented intent; they care about technical enforcement.

 

If your front desk, clinical areas, or billing systems cannot technically prevent an ePHI (Electronic Protected Health Information) data leak, your practice is exposed to findings of Willful Neglect, which carries mandatory penalties of up to $13,000 to $64,000 per violation.

​

We can help you be compliant and save on IT costs at the same time.
