A new survey from TransUnion Healthcare found that nearly seven in ten patients would avoid healthcare providers that experience a data breach.

The survey found that older and younger consumer groups responded differently to the issue of a data breach. 

“Older consumers may have long-standing loyalties to their current doctors, making them less likely to seek a new healthcare provider following a data breach,” said Gerry McCarthy, president of TransUnion Healthcare. “However, younger patients are far more likely to at least consider moving to a new provider if there is a data breach.”

Other findings from the survey are outlined in the infographic below.
