The data on which the H1, 2024 Healthcare Data Breach Report is based includes healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records that were reported to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) between January 1, 2024, and June 30, 2024. The data were obtained from OCR on July 23, 2024, to allow OCR time to process reports and add entries to its breach portal. On July 23, there were 32 breaches of 500 or 501 records in the dataset. These figures are commonly used placeholders to meet the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule reporting requirements when the breach investigation has not yet concluded. The total number of affected individuals could increase considerably when these investigations conclude. This report only includes data on large healthcare data breaches that involved the protected health information (PHI) of 500 or more individuals. Smaller data breaches, which typically outnumber larger breaches at a rate of around 100-1, are not made public by OCR, and are therefore outside the scope of this report. https://lnkd.in/ewJWqYwT
