Health Care IT contracts are rarely just about technology. They govern access to patient data, compliance with complex regulatory obligations, and the systems that keep day-to-day operations running. Yet these agreements are often dense, highly technical, and drafted on vendor-friendly terms, making it easy for critical risks to go unnoticed until something goes wrong.
A trailblazing decision has been issued by Judge Rakoff of the United States Federal Court for the Southern District of New York. The decision, issued on February 17, 2026, analyzes the applicability of attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine to third-party generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms.
Everyone has had that contract that they regret signing or was automatically renewed before they remembered to give notice to terminate. Vendor contracts have a way of lingering long after their usefulness has expired, mainly because vendors have every incentive to prolong a lucrative relationship. In health care especially, organizations often find themselves locked into agreements that no longer reflect operational benefits, integrate fully with current systems/technology, or meet budget priorities, yet seem nearly impossible to escape unscathed.
Zachary Cohen and Philip Hammarberg discuss the Change Healthcare cyberattack and the steps that a medical provider can take to attempt to mitigate their risk from future cyberattacks.
