Resilience is not optional—whether that’s patching vulnerabilities, staying operational through EHR downtime, or building the data foundation for AI at scale. CISA flags the “React2Shell” threat tied to React Server Components. Spare Tire raises three million dollars to expand EHR continuity, with perspective from co-founder Allen Alashi. HHS moves forward on an interagency AI data platform with C3. UC Irvine Health opens the nation’s first all-electric acute-care hospital in Irvine, California. And Sharecare partners with CLEAR on trusted digital identity for AskMD.

📍 CISA Flags “React2Shell” Risk — Anika Shah
CISA has flagged a critical vulnerability tied to React Server Components, with real-world exploitation concerns. For health systems, this isn’t abstract—React-based apps sit everywhere from patient access to internal tools. The playbook: confirm exposure, patch and redeploy, and tighten monitoring for suspicious activity.
📍 Spare Tire Raises 3 Million Dollars for EHR Continuity — Nate Collier
Spare Tire raised three million dollars to expand EHR continuity during cyberattacks, weather events, and planned maintenance—plus a sound bite from co-founder Allen Alashi. The executive lens: time-to-continuity is only half the battle; clean reconciliation after downtime is where hidden cost and revenue-cycle drag show up.
📍 HHS + C3 Interagency AI Data Platform — Jade Romero
HHS is moving forward with an interagency AI data platform with C3 positioned as the technology partner. This is where expectations form—data governance, measurement standards, and AI-driven oversight often start here and later ripple into reporting, audits, and policy direction.
📍 Nation’s First All-Electric Acute-Care Hospital Opens — Logan Stokes
UC Irvine Health is opening the nation’s first all-electric acute-care hospital in Irvine, California—built to expand capacity for Orange County’s growth while showcasing a lower-emissions infrastructure model. For operators, electrification changes long-term planning: energy strategy, maintenance models, resilience assumptions, and total cost of ownership.
📍 Digital Identity Moves to the Center of the Front Door — Peter Betterworth
Sharecare partnered with CLEAR to enable trusted digital identity for the AskMD experience, with rollout described for 2026. Watch the tradeoff: reducing fraud and account takeover while keeping patient experience friction low—and deciding who “owns” identity in the consumer-to-care journey.
