We focus on the latest news surrounding data breaches, leaks and hacks plus daily internet security articles.
A previous report revealed that boxes of paper patient records and staff notes were reportedly left unsecured in a Norfolk care home following its closure several years previously. Despite past assurances of onsite security measures for the unoccupied building, it was possible for a local reporter to apparently walk onto the site through an open door, after which they found hoards of abandoned medical records left inside.
This was an example of how this kind of event could easily happen, though it was completely avoidable. Such violations of data protection law are always unacceptable, but they are particularly concerning where such sensitive information is involved.
We trust healthcare providers to do their utmost to protect our private data, so it is shocking that an organisation would neglect its data protection duties in these circumstances.
A healthcare environment is somewhere that we should expect to feel safe and protected, trusting the doctors and other healthcare professionals who owe us a duty of care. But it is not only our health and well-being that we entrust to healthcare organisations, as they are also responsible for protecting the incredibly sensitive personal and health information that we disclose to them. Unfortunately, healthcare data violations can continue to erode the relationship of trust between patients and healthcare providers.
Whether an employee has viewed medical records without authorisation, or failed cybersecurity has allowed hackers to access private stores of patient data, all medical information breaches can have a profound impact on the affected patients. It is unacceptable that so many of these incidents continue to occur, as the organisations responsible for them may actually be violating the data protection laws they are required to comply with.
If you have been affected by a healthcare data breach, you may be able to recover compensation via a data breach claim. Our expert lawyers can offer free, no-obligation advice on your potential eligibility.
