Reduce Healthcare Data Breaches

According to a recent report by Redspin, 61% of data breaches of patient health information were a result of malicious intent and have occurred since the August 2009 HITECH Act. The report states that these breaches affected more than 6 million individuals, 43 states including Washington D.C and Puerto Rico experienced at least one data breach and out of the 225 documented breaches one breach alone exposed 27,000 individuals putting their data at risk.

Today, data is portable, and we need to ensure it’s integrity. In September 2010, a computer flash drive containing the names, addresses, social security numbers, and health information of 280,000 Medicaid members was stolen from a health plan providers corporate offices. This is not the first time hundreds of thousands of individuals lost their privacy through a security breach. In 2006, a laptop containing personal health information for 26.5 million veterans was stolen from a Veterans Administration (VA) employee’s home.

These documented breaches are only part of the problem as the breach only needs to be reported to the Department of Health and Human services within sixty days if there are more than 500 patients affected. If there are less than 500 patients affected, the reporting is only required annually.
