Data Breach- Louisiana

Locate a health data breach from within the past year. It would be ideal to focus on a breach that happened in your community or that you have had some exposure to personally or professionally. Once you have identified the breach, review the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Breach Portal.Links to an external site. Look specifically at the dates and the number of patients affected by the breach. Now, briefly summarize the breach. Using what you have learned so far, including HIPAA, discuss how and why this breach occurred. What were the consequences? Close by recommending what the healthcare organization can do to prevent further breaches from happening. Make it compelling. Use the best practice information, but also don't be afraid to also propose something new and outside the box. As you create your post, keep it concise and readable, and remember that you are doing this to teach your peers about some aspect of data breaches. Keep that goal in mind.
