Larger hospitals, especially teaching institutions, appear to be at greatest risk for health data breaches, says a new study. That’s possibly due to several factors, including these hospitals’ rich pools of patient data and greater demands for sharing that information for patient care and research, some experts say.
The study, which was published by JAMA Internal Medicine, analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to examine what type of hospitals face a higher risk of data breaches.
