OREM, Utah, Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ According to SecurityMetrics 2020 HIPAA survey data, organizations are getting better at internal security measures like email security and employee training–with a 38% decrease in practices sending patient data over email and a 8% increase in annual employee training. In other areas, healthcare continues to struggle with HIPAA and patient data security. For example, in 2019, only 58% of health practices conducted formal risk assessments and
in 2020, only 40% did so. Security issues in healthcare are further compounded by the significant stresses put on practices and providers due to the COVID-19 crisis.
