Healthcare consumers believe that their providers and health plans are taking measures to protect their digital healthcare data, yet a recent Accenture survey on Healthcare Cybersecurity and Digital Trust finds that one of four health care consumers (26%) has experienced a breach of their digital healthcare data, which may include their Social Security number, contact information, electronic medical record or health  insurance ID. And, of these, half were victims of medical identity theft.  Following a breach one-quarter (25%) of those experiencing a breach changed their healthcare providers, 21 percent changed their health insurance company, and 34% lost trust in the organization.
