Fitzpatrick, Crow Introduce Bill to Strengthen Healthcare Cybersecurity Amid Growing Threats
Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick and Jason Crow introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2025, though details remain scarce. Meanwhile, healthcare cybersecurity faces growing threats, with proposed regulations aiming to strengthen protections.
The proposed HIPAA Security Rule seeks to enhance healthcare cybersecurity by mandating more detailed risk analyses and incident notifications. However, AI tools, while offering incident response solutions, also introduce new risks like automation bias. America's AI Action Plan encourages unrestricted data flow, but the Biden Administration's policies, such as the Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data rule and the Protecting Americans' Data Act, aim to limit data sharing with adversarial countries. Regular staff training is crucial to prevent attacks and foster a security culture. Several guidelines, including the Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2025, aim to bolster healthcare cybersecurity, with a 23% year-over-year increase in intrusion frequency highlighting the urgency of these measures.
The proposed bill by Reps. Fitzpatrick and Crow, along with other regulations, seeks to bolster healthcare cybersecurity. As threats increase, timely implementation of these measures is vital to protect sensitive patient data.
