Pulled quotes from Health-ISC Board Member, Anahi Santiago and Health-ISAC Chief Security Officer, Errol Weiss:
Having UnitedHealth notify victims will benefit patients, said Anahi Santiago,
chief information security officer at ChristianaCare, a hospital system based
in Delaware.
With one company handling notification, patients will be spared from
receiving multiple letters from different places, she said.
Plus, hospitals and doctors don’t know what personal data was
compromised or which patients were affected, so they wouldn’t be able to
answer follow-up questions about the breach, said Errol Weiss, chief security
officer at the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC), a nonprofit
that helps healthcare groups exchange information about cyber threats. Only
UnitedHealth can identify who was affected and what the risks are to those people, he said.
