Abstract
This research studies the occurrence of data breaches in healthcare provider settings regarding patient data. Using visual analytics and data visualization tools, we study the distribution of healthcare breaches by state. We review the main causes and types of breaches, as well as their impact on both providers and patients. The research shows a range of data breach victims. Network servers are the most popular location for common breaches, such as hacking and information technology (IT) incidents, unauthorized access, theft, loss, and improper disposal. We offer proactive recommendations to prepare for a breach. These include, but are not limited to, regulatory compliance, implementing policies and procedures, and monitoring network servers. Unfortunately, the results indicate that the probability of data breaches will continue to rise.
