According to this POLITICO report, Health data breaches swelled last year. The article states that:
"Experts say the increased hacking can be attributed to the health care industry’s rapid move to digital, particularly amid the Covid-19 pandemic; an increase in remote work, which allows more avenues for attacks with employees using more personal devices; the financially lucrative information for cybercriminals in health care; and greater awareness of attacks across the industry, thus more reporting."
In reality, the real problem is that these healthcare data have many different sources of origin and different places where they are stored. And, most importantly, there is no single oversight body that has the responsibility to decide how these data are used and where they go.
Until we have such a centralized oversight body, these data breaches will continue to plague our system! One such potential solution is establishing a National Healthcare Board modeled after the Federal Reserve System. You can read about it here: https://www.theembraceplan.com
