How Protected Are Your Patient Records?

by teresaduncan on October 10, 2012

I walk by this office all the time and can’t help but think that they are only one smash-and-grab away from a public relations nightmare. This office’s patient charts are visible from the road – I can see patient’s names on the charts. A thief need only break that window and grab the charts for a quick profit on the street. Nationwide Insurance puts the street value of a medical record as $150. Social security numbers can also be sold. I wish this office would at least pull the blinds so we can’t see the charts from the road.
