الوصف: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the predominant healthcare data breaches in the United States from October 2009 to September 2023, utilizing a mixed-methods approach centered on seven publicly available breach reports. It aims to identify patterns, common factors, and measures to enhance cybersecurity within the sector. Through comparative document analysis, the study examines the nature, causes, and repercussions of these breaches, recognizing external attacks, internal errors, and software vulnerabilities as critical weaknesses. The consequences range from financial and reputational damage to erosion of patient trust. The findings stress the necessity for improved preventive strategies, bolstering of security practices, employee training, vendor oversight, and effective incident response mechanisms. The paper also offers insights into the legal and ethical implications of breaches. It suggests robust cybersecurity measures, including the adoption of emerging technologies like blockchain and AI/ML to deter threats. The recommendations guide healthcare organizations toward establishing robust protections for sensitive health data, ensuring regulatory compliance, and facilitating continuity of trust and care. The paper serves as a call to action for ongoing study into the multidimensional impact of data compromises in healthcare.
