It's insane that medical data has become so highly valued on the black market (I guess because of the amount of information stored with a single patient such as SSNs, maybe billing info, addresses, etc). Yet, it seems that the healthcare industry is not well prepared to deal with a huge amount of sensitive data (and doesn't seem to be obfuscating it when sharing with vendors). Ironically, I feel that the most secure way of doing patient record keeping is keeping everything physical.

- colechristensen 6y agoThe healthcare industry is prepared just fine. Regulations exist for how you can share data with vendors, when you are required to remove identifiable information, and how to share unredacted information with legal agreements, audits, etc. When this doesn’t happen right there are penalties and notifications. If correct, a breach of this magnitude is entirely possibly a death penalty for the businesses involved, and criminal liability. If it isn’t, then it isn’t the business sector being unprepared or the regulations being missing but the legal system failing to follow through.
