Audio seminar examines the nuts and bolts of covering the costs of health data breaches
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) May 7, 2010 -- The cost of reporting and mitigating health data breaches has shifted the issue from one of technical compliance to core business operations. With breaches expected to become more common, attention necessarily focuses on how to respond in the most affordable and effective way.
Decisions really cannot wait.
The cost of breaches involving more than 500 records can be substantial. While the expense can run into the millions, even a relatively small breach can cost a healthcare organization hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's not even counting the reputational harm and the potential to catch the eye of regulators for an extended period of time.
Risk management in this area is still murky for many, but insurers are starting to offer programs that can help healthcare organizations control that cost. But there are strings attached, and there is nothing that totally insulates an entity from exposure.
Moreover, some business insurers are already starting to worry that their clients are reporting too many claims related to breach notification.
At the same time, some healthcare organizations also have started negotiations to refine and clarify the terms of what is covered and when coverage kicks in.
With that in mind, Melamedia, LLC, publishers of Health Information Privacy/Security Alert, is sponsoring a 90-minute audio seminar focused on the negotiation between business insurers and healthcare entities:
The Nuts & Bolts of Covering the Costs of Health Data Breaches.
