California medical privacy breach stats, updated

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Dissent

Several weeks ago, I posted some medical privacy breach statistics I obtained from California (see the chart here)

This week, I found  some more recent figures.

I have no idea why the numbers for some entries do not match what they provided me with previously. But it would appear from the more recent figures that with the exception of intentional breaches by persons other than healthcare employees, the number of breaches is declining each year for both reported and substantiated breaches.
