A Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is a small healthcare facility located in rural areas, designed to provide essential medical services to communities that are far from larger hospitals. These hospitals typically have 25 or fewer inpatient beds and offer 24/7 emergency care. Due to their limited resources and smaller staff, CAHs often face challenges in implementing advanced cybersecurity measures, making them more vulnerable to cyber threats. Despite these limitations, they play a crucial role in ensuring access to healthcare in underserved regions.
