Healthcare Data Predictions for 2012

The May/June 2012 Oncology Issues recently published these 2012 predictions for healthcare data and its use:

• Hospitals may be at increased risk for data breaches caused by the use of mobile technology in the workforce,
• Class-action lawsuits are “imminent,”
• Social media risks in healthcare will increase,
• Technology is growing faster than security measures and protection from risk and liability,
