The Cost of a Healthcare Data Breach

Fierce Healthcare and PGP have made available an excellent study named ‘The Cost of a Data Breach‘. The study quantifies actual data breach costs – often into eight figures – incurred by 31 organizations that lost confidential information and had a regulatory requirement to publicly notify affected individuals. Includes key findings, cost breakdowns, and insight into the high cost of lax data security.

This is a great read, particularly if you are considering hosting data in-house in your practice, or having your physicians host their own data.
