Opinion Piece Makes the Case for Health Data Encryption in Wake of UCLA Health Breach
In an opinion piece, Payers & Providers publisher Ron Shinkman writes that the recent UCLA Health data breach announcement "was another in a series of non-shocking shocking stories about lax health care security." He argues that "encrypting patient records or the devices that hold them is easy and these days almost always free," yet in many cases stolen data are not encrypted.
