Telehealth Security: An Examination of Variance in Telehealth Security Breaches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692291863)

The evolution of health data & patient record storage on electronic networks is posing a threat to our society. It is imperative that security practices & policies are improved in order to protect our personal information from cybercriminals. This book gives a background on telehealth and current security regulations. Research is also presented that examines the variations in Department of Health and Human Services telehealth security breach rates between the years 2009 and 2012. The study presented in this book reveals telehealth practitioner support for HIPAA-enforced breach thresholds to protect patient data, as well as opportunities for regulatory documentation to be improved. The information in this book serves as a catalyst for more extensive research regarding the implementation of better security standards, threshold laws, and governance for telehealth. As telehealth grows, security breaches will become more prevalent. The research and recommendations in this book could aid in providing better data security for evolving telehealth systems.
