The revised HBRT features improved navigation, highlighting breaches currently under investigation and reported within the last 24 months. It also archives older breaches and includes information on how they were resolved.
“HHS heard from the public that we needed to focus more on the most recent breaches and clarify when entities have taken action to resolve the issues that might have led to their breaches,” said HHS Secretary Tom Price, MD.
OCR released the HBRT in 2009, following the enactment of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act. All HIPAA-covered organizations are required to report incidents where 500 or more patients’ information is lost, stolen or hacked to the OCR, which publishes the information on the HBRT.
