CHICAGO -- The number of health data breaches has been increasing in recent
years, and the most frequent type was theft, Marion Jenkins, PhD
<http://www.himssconference.org/schedule/speaker.aspx?ItemNumber=36367>,
said here at the annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and
Management Systems Society.

Since 2009, there have been 1,185 data breaches as defined by the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), said Jenkins, who is
chief strategy officer at 3t Systems, a healthcare consulting firm in
Denver. And the pace is accelerating, with an increase of more than 50% in
the last 12 months. Breaches have so far affected 133 million patient
records.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
