Third Annual Benchmark Study on Patient Privacy & Data Security

We are please to announce the release of the Third Annual Benchmark Study on Patient Privacy & Data Security, sponsored by ID Experts.

Healthcare organizations seem to face an uphill battle in their efforts to stop and reduce the loss or theft of protected health information (PHI) or patient information. As is revealed in the Third Annual Benchmark Study on Patient Privacy and Data Security, many healthcare organizations struggle with a lack of technologies, resources and trained personnel to deal with privacy and data security risks.

The consequence of not having adequate funding, solutions and expertise in place is clear. Since first conducting this study in 2010 the percentage of healthcare organizations reporting a data breach has increased and not declined. Further, there are more reports of multiple breaches and only 40 percent of organizations in this study have confidence that they are able to prevent or quickly detect all patient data loss or theft.
