Health Sector Council Letter to CMS on Stark Exception
Every stakeholder of the healthcare system and the subsector they represent, including direct patient care, pharmaceuticals, device manufacturers, health IT and supplies, plans and payers, and mass fatality management, is part of an interdependent ecosystem that is facing sophisticated and targeted cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities that can cascade across the value chain of the healthcare sector, ultimately affecting patient safety and security. These stakeholders increasingly recognize a collective responsibility to pool our resources and develop industry-wide policy and operational solutions to our shared challenges.
