Stat: According to HIPPA, and the cyberattack on Change Healthcare, there were 725 “large” reported healthcare security breaches in the US last year. Experts say health organizations suffer from a lack of basic security measures, and are being targeted by “increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.” (The HIPAA Journal)

Quote: “Having a [doctor] who can coordinate your healthcare and is willing to do so on a personal basis was very important to me. And I really feel like that is completely gone, and I feel like it happened overnight.”—Deborah Wood, an older adult patient at primary care provider Iora Health, where some patients say care quality has worsened after Amazon acquired its parent company One Medical in 2022 (the Washington Post)
