Key Takeaways:
- RCM disruptions endanger patient care – Cyberattacks can delay surgery, stall claims processing, and freeze access to medical records.
- Human error remains the biggest risk – Untrained staff, reused passwords, and phishing emails are still leading causes of breaches.
- AI and automation are both threats and tools – Cybercriminals use AI to break in—RCM teams must use it to defend.
- Legacy systems leave RCM teams vulnerable – Outdated infrastructure lacks the defenses required to stop modern attacks.
