Health Care Lawyers Most Worried About Electronic Information
General Counselors working with health care providers are more concerned with data privacy than with any other topic at present, according to a recently published survey. In Consero Group's 2017 Healthcare General Counsel report (partnership with Broad and Cassel), 75% of the 54 GC survey participants — all representing mid- to large health care systems — said that data security was their most pressing worry, reflecting the exponential expansion of the use of electronic information and the holes in security that might go unnoticed until it is too late.
When asked for specific fears, Norton Healthcare general counsel Robert Azar cited patient portals as one vulnerable point. Another was employees', patients' and their families' use of cell phones and other electronic devices while in the medical setting, since they can be used to take notes, snap photos and record conversations or medical records. The data stored on all these devices might not only be misused by their owners but also could be stolen or otherwise misappropriated, possibly leading to the exposure of private medical information to unauthorized people.
