HIMSS Patient Data Security Study

Kroll-HIMSS 2010 Report on patient data security practices

Register below to receive a copy of the 2010 HIMSS Analytics Report: Security of Patient Data, which examines data security practices at hospitals across the United States. The second in a series of bi-annual studies on this topic, the report follows the 2008 Kroll-HIMSS Analytics Report. A pool of 250 respondents, comprised of Senior IT Executives, Chief Security Officers, Health Information Management (HIM) Directors/Managers, Compliance and Privacy Officers, were surveyed regarding the status of patient data safety at their hospitals.

Key findings of the 2010 report include:

• New regulatory activity, including the implementation of the Red Flags Rule and HITECH Act, has created a false sense of security among healthcare organizations that their facilities are secure and prepared should a breach occur.
• Healthcare organizations continue to underestimate the high costs of a data breach, despite new industry data which puts the average cost per industry data breach at $6.75 million.
• Healthcare organizations continue to think of data security in specific silos (IT, employees, etc.) and not as an organization-wide responsibility, which creates unwanted gaps in policies and procedures.
