How Cybersecurity is a Serious Problem for Physicians
More than four in five US physicians (83%) have experienced some form of a cyber attack, according to new research by the American Medical Association (AMA) and Accenture.
Fifty-five percent of the 1300 physicians who responded to the AMA/Accenture survey were very or extremely concerned about future cyberattacks in their practice. Physicians were most concerned that future attacks could interrupt their clinical practices (74%), compromise the security of patient records (74%), or affect patient safety (53%).
