RE: Millions of patient data records could be easily accessible in the internet!
I see lots of hospitals and their respective satellite offices moving to Epic. Haven't done much research myself, but I am curious about it's security.
Medical data may not seem like a big deal to some...until their insurance companies jack up prices or employers decide not to hire you based on that same data,
Yes! It's like with all the other "available" data.
Down the road nobody gives much about "where it came from", which is understandable in regards to risk-cost-minimization for instance of other health insured people, right?
Things can become pretty tricky once the cat is out of the bag, or better pii data is freely available in the wild, which is why I believe only with fair, but draconian individual damage compensation this will get the recognition needed to slowly reduce the number of data, privacy breaches.
Cheers!
