What are the Risks of PHI Breaches in Neonatal Care?
A breach of PHI in neonatal care can have serious consequences. Unauthorized access to PHI can lead to identity theft, financial fraud, and other forms of misuse. In the healthcare context, breaches can compromise the quality of care if inaccurate or incomplete information is used for treatment. For families, a breach can result in emotional distress and a loss of trust in the healthcare system.
