On-the-Spot Intervention 95% Effective at Preventing Further Unauthorized Medical Record Access
HIPAA Journal | 2023-02-27
Defenses need to be put in place to detect and block attempts by cybercriminals to access healthcare networks, but not all threats are external. Each year, many data breaches are reported by hospitals and medical practices that involve unauthorized access to medical records by employees. These data breaches include non-malicious snooping on the medical records of colleagues, friends, family members, and high-profile patients, and insider wrongdoing incidents where patient data is stolen for identity theft and fraud or to take to a new employer. The healthcare industry has historically had a far bigger problem with insider data breaches than other industry sectors.
