Over 19 Million Affected by PHI Breaches- Are You Contributing too?
You may be thinking that your organization is completely shielded from security threats, and that a breach of any sort in any organization, is a rarity. But the fact is that health information breaches are no longer one-off incidents. They are much more frequent than we tend to imagine. About 385 major breaches have been reported in the last couple of years, and the number of individuals affected by these breaches has touched a new high. With the addition of the Sutter Health incident to the list, the breach tally raises over 19 million individuals since September 2009.
