Zero Trust Security Strategy
Zero Trust is a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of a digital interaction. The strategy provides guidance for organizations to protect their resources by creating processes and workflows focused on protecting assets and securing sensitive data. Building a zero-trust architecture that encompasses multi-layer protections strengthens your security posture. This means all device and user identities, both internal and external, are validated prior to being granted access to network resources.
One way to begin implementing zero trust into your healthcare organization includes applying an access and identity management solution.

Updates to Requirements for Buprenorphine Prescribing
As announced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in January 2023, clinicians no longer need a federal waiver to prescribe Buprenorphine for treatment of opioid use disorder.
Clinicians will still be required to register with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DES) to prescribe controlled medications. Beginning on June 27, the DEA registration will require applicants – both new and renewing – to affirm they have completed a new, one-time, eight-hour training.
Exceptions for the new training requirement are practitioners who are board certified in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry, and those who graduated from a medical, dental, physician assistant, or advanced practice nursing school in the U.S. within five years of June 27, 2023.
Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) still have the opportunity to apply for a $3,000 payment on behalf of each provider who trained between January 1, 2019 and January 25, 2023 (when Congress eliminated the waiver requirement). Approximately $900,000 in program funding remains available for RHCs and will be paid on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.
