The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended its Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) program through September 2030, enabling hospitals to provide care in patients' homes. This expansion introduces significant cybersecurity challenges, including unsecured home Wi-Fi, unreliable connections, and risks associated with personal smart devices and overseas vendors. To address these threats, a security framework has been proposed focusing on data interoperability using HL7 v2 and FHIR standards, robust data governance with zero-trust models, and the implementation of edge computing.
