Some 56 percent of IT administrators in healthcare organizations say they spend anywhere from 25 to 100 percent of their time working on compliance, and 54 percent spend most of it on HIPPA, according to the survey conducted by GlobalSign, a certificate authority. Meanwhile, some 34 percent of organizations suffered a breach of their patients' records in the past two years, and 10 percent say those breaches cost organizations $100,000 per incident each day. Nearly 40 percent spend one-fourth of their work week "improving security and ensuring data privacy," and 19 percent say they spend 75 to 100 percent of their time on compliance, the report found, based on a survey of 107 IT administrators, managers, and C-level executives. Half of the respondents are with organizations of 5,000 or more employees. Lila Kee, chief product officer at GlobalSign, says the findings reveal that healthcare is working heavily on compliance for HIPPA, HITECH, and other state and federal regulations, but is still getting hacked. "They are still having breaches even though they are doing a lot with regulations and compliance," Kee says.
