Infrastructure to enable the delivery of patient care
Applications to record, analyze, and coordinate the delivery of pa...

The latest breach this week has to do with a leased photocopier. Apparently Affinity Health Plan, a New York-based managed care plan, returned a leased photocopier that contained PHI on the hard drive for up to 344,579 individuals.
