Everywhere I look/listen, there's a HIPAA breach

Posted on November 15, 2013 by Dissent

Maybe I should start a column just about the “small” HIPAA breaches I seem to trip over on a too-frequent basis.

I recently noted a privacy breach at Northern Inyo Hospital in California. It was one of those “small breaches” (i.e., less than 500 affected) that don’t get reported on HHS’s  public-facing breach tool, but it really created distress for its victim.
