Healthcare Regulation

Meaning

Healthcare regulation refers to the comprehensive body of rules, laws, and administrative oversight established by governmental agencies to govern the provision, quality, and financing of medical services and health-related products. In the hormonal health space, this regulatory framework encompasses everything from the clinical standards for hormone replacement therapy and the approval of new endocrine drugs by the FDA to the privacy rules protecting patient lab results and biometric data. The goal is to ensure patient safety, maintain ethical standards, and promote equitable access to evidence-based care. Adherence to these regulations is mandatory for all clinical practitioners and digital health innovators operating within the ecosystem.
