3 Points. Government Incentives for Healthcare to Protect Its Data.

1/2 of health care organizations say they are prepared for a data breach.

The American Medical Association proposes these data security incentives:

• CMS to include among its improvement activities in the Quality Payment Program (QPP), a credit for practices who engage in good cybersecurity hygiene and protect sensitive information;
• best practices and tools must be scalable & able to accommodate the needs of physicians of all sizes and practic areas; and
• larger practices should share their best practices with smaller health care entities to best protect health care communities.
