HIA’s executive director spoke with Inside Health Policy about recent health date breaches.
Brett Meeks, executive director of the Health Innovation Alliance and vice president of Horizon Government Affairs, said in an interview that while it’s great that lawmakers are worried about Americans receiving notice of a data breach, it’s also important for lawmakers to focus on stopping breaches altogether.
“We have to figure out how we approach this now systemic problem in health care, but also in every other industry, to make sure that we’re trying to resolve the problem and not just penalize people for things they can’t prevent,” Meeks said.
