Don’t Worry, Your Healthcare Data is Private and Safe. Not.
Do you know how the HIPAA laws protect patients but slow the process of getting things done? See Dr. Cooke’s article in DPC News on patient portals.
Well, privacy is important and that is why you can trust all these companies to hold that data. Or can you? This just in:
More than 540 organizations reported healthcare data breaches to HHS in 2023, impacting upwards of 112M individuals.
That’s one-third of our entire f@cking country!!
Another job well done by the government. I am so glad you made it so you can’t trust doctors talking about a patient without a cone of silence but you let these companies spill their information with minimal effort. Congratulations.
Be nice. It’s a lucrative job for quality monitors and privacy police who can’t hack it as baristas.
