PriceWaterhouseCooper put out a scathing report saying the health industry is under-prepared to address the data-protection needs of patients. The apparent lack has been a poor culture of security within the industry, with over half of the providers surveyed reporting they had some sort of issue with information getting loose when it shouldn't have, and 2/3 indicating that this was the direct result of an inside job.
The harsh reality is that without some sort of protection put in place, it can be just as dangerous to go to the doctor as not when we need medical attention.
