🔐 HIPAA Changes Are Here. Are You Ready?

Healthcare data is under more pressure than ever, and the 2026 HIPAA updates are designed to raise the bar on privacy and cybersecurity. These changes will impact how your team documents, protects, and responds to incidents involving patient information.

What’s changing:
• Stronger protections for sensitive health data
• Mandatory multi-factor authentication and stronger encryption
• More frequent risk assessments and tighter audits
• Faster incident reporting from business associates

How to prepare:
Start reviewing your policies, update your Notice of Privacy Practices, assess cybersecurity gaps, and train your staff.

While routine screening can find colorectal cancer early when treatment is most effective, many adults do not get recommended screenings.

To address this gap in care:
1. Start earlier discussions with patients on cancer risk and screening options.
2. Convey importance of screening for a patient's health and wellness.
3. Discuss a patient's fear around colonoscopy.
4. Record date of previously completed test in EHR.
5. Provide screening reminders during office visits.

Strong performance starts with prevention.

Screenings are more than tasks to complete. From cancer to diabetes and cardiovascular assessments, they uncover risks early, close quality gaps, and shape smarter care plans.

When teams act early, they have time to follow up and prevent complications. This leads to better outcomes, stronger quality results, and greater patient trust.

Let's talk about cancer prevention!

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. -- but it's also one of the most preventable. How can we improve adherence?

✅ Normalize the conversation—talk about screenings as routinely as blood pressure checks.

✅ Offer options—colonoscopy isn’t the only way; stool-based tests can be a great alternative.

✅ Address barriers—help patients navigate insurance coverage and scheduling challenges.

Every screening completed is a potential life saved. Close colorectal cancer screening care gaps and ensure more patients get the preventive care they need.

V28 of the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model is here, and it changes how patient complexity is recognized.

Some diagnoses no longer carry the same weight. Categories have shifted, and specificity matters more than ever.

If a condition is not clearly assessed, addressed, and documented, it will not count toward a patient's risk profile.

Make sure you capture all active conditions, use specific diagnoses, and document how they affect your clinical decisions at least once each year.

Your documentation is now more important than ever.

Medicare Annual Wellness Visits look a little different in 2026.

AWVs remain a preventive care cornerstone, but expectations around what’s assessed and documented continue to evolve.

There’s greater emphasis on lifestyle risk factors, prevention planning, and using the visit to capture a clearer picture of the patient’s overall health, not just a checklist.

An AWV is not a physical. It is one of the most important visits of the year for prevention, quality, and patient engagement.
