From DataBreachToday:
Costly End to 17-Year-Old Breach Case
"One key takeaway from the settlement is that while most healthcare organizations have been moving to safeguard electronic health records and other digital platforms, millions of paper records remain in their institutions that need proper safeguarding. Those paper records contain patients' protected health information, including those from closed facilities and in storage.
Patient electronic data stored on old computer equipment also need to be properly disposed by healthcare providers or their business associates, or else risk breaches that potentially can turn into costly and protracted lawsuits or enforcement actions by government regulators."
