HIMSS Patient Data Security Study

Kroll-HIMSS Patient Data Security Study

Register below to receive a copy of the April 2008 Kroll-HIMSS Analytics study on patient data security risk at hospitals across the U.S.

Survey responses of senior IT Executives and Chief Security Officers regarding the status of patient data safety at their hospitals are included in the study and offer revealing feedback from this critical audience in the following areas:

• Top concerns around patient data safety
• Patient data security practices in place
• Patient data safety risks
• Resources allocated to patient data safety, and
• Costs associated with patient data breaches

Some of the key report findings include:

• Regulatory loopholes in data management standards allow data breaches to go unreported, preventing an accurate measurement of frequency.
• Security policies place a greater emphasis on preventing violation of privacy vs. preventing fraud and malicious intent.
• Healthcare organizations lack appreciation for the costs of a breach. Even organizations that reported experiencing a breach were not aware of the significant financial impacts that can result for years after the event.
