Brought to you by Talkin’ Cloud While 2016 was an incredible year for
innovation in healthcare technology, from a security standpoint it was a
challenging one: last year a healthcare breach happened once a day on
average, affecting 27,314,647 patient records, according to a report by
Protenus. The consequences of these breaches are not cheap: over the
past few months alone, healthcare organizations in violation of HIPAA
have paid millions of dollars in fines. In February, a Miami, Fla.-area
non-profit paid $5.5 million to settle a HIPAA case, while a Dallas-area
hospital had to pay a $3.2 million HIPAA penalty, MSPmentor reports.
