HHS overhauls ‘Wall of Shame’ breach reporting website

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has updated its online breach reporting tool for healthcare organizations and third-party business associates. The tool now only lists the last two years of breaches, with older breaches archived separately. The update also includes additional information and tips for patients. The agency plans to continue improving the tool based on feedback. However, critics argue that the tool has a negative impact on victims.
