With the growth of digital initiatives like Telehealth and the shift to online programs…..you will need to be even more careful in handling patient information.
According to a report by AAMC, cyberattacks on healthcare systems have spiked drastically with a 45% uptick in cybersecurity breaches in healthcare practices since 2020.
Statistics further show that healthcare providers are slow in preparing and responding to threats. When a breach occurs, not only do you compromise confidential patient information, but you face a hefty penalty if you are in violation.
