Why it matters
Your patient portal is part of your clinical risk. Ask your EHR vendor or health system which fixes apply to your configuration and when. The bigger shift: AI is now finding healthcare security holes faster than vendors can close them, and every longevity practice running on connected data needs a plan for that.
