Just the facts

Based on the article above, describe the privacy situation – provide an overview of what occurred in this privacy-related healthcare situation. Present “just the facts” – do not include your opinion at this point. You will get time to do that. (ex: ransomware, dark web, firewall intrusion, cloud breach, phishing, security passwords, questionable billing for telehealth, etc). Discuss the parties involved in the privacy-related situation (ex: patient data, insurance filing compromise, fraudulent billing, deleting of files), etc. Describe the action the organization took once the privacy-related issue became evident. Now your opinion – discuss what you feel led to the privacy-related issue AND what you would do as an HCA running this organization to prevent this from happening. There is an old adage, “A lock only keeps honest people out”. When we evaluate the Healthcare IT industry, is there a way to prevent privacy-related intrusions? Please support your perspective.
