Hospitals can soon expect to see new draft cybersecurity regulations, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The HHS outlined its cybersecurity strategy for the healthcare sector in a concept paper released Wednesday that also described voluntary performance goals. The goals are intended to help the industry prepare for forthcoming enforceable standards, the agency said.
