HHS Makes Changes to ‘Wall of Shame’ Breach Reporting Site

Department of Health and Human Services has made changes to its website that lists reports of major health data breaches affecting 500 or more individuals. The changes come after complaints from some members of Congress and others that the website unfairly exposes breached organizations to endless public scrutiny. The website was unveiled in 2009, as called for under the HITECH Act, which requires HHS to make public the information HIPAA covered entities report to OCR when they are involved in breaches. A total of about 174.6 million individuals have been affected by all these breaches since 2009.”]
