Key Findings in This Study
- 79% of full-time employees faced at least one legal issue in the past year.
- Among those who sought legal assistance, 58% agreed that legal guidance and representation notably reduced their stress levels.
- While legal assistance proved effective in reducing stress for those who sought it, most employees did not take advantage of this valuable resource, leaving their legal needs unaddressed.

Healthcare Data Breaches on the Rise
Healthcare Data Breach Statistics
The HIPAA Journal has compiled healthcare data breach statistics from October 2009, when the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) first started publishing summaries of healthcare data breaches on its website.
Trends in Healthcare Data Breach Statistics
Our healthcare data breach statistics clearly show there has been an upward trend in data breaches over the past 14 years, with 2021 seeing more data breaches reported than any other year since records first started being published by OCR.
Data breaches increased once again in 2022, with OCR receiving reports of 720 data breaches of 500 or more records. There was no letup in cyberattacks on healthcare organizations in 2023, which set two new records – The most reported data breaches and the most breached records. In 2023, 725 data breaches were reported to OCR and across those breaches, more that 133 million records were exposed or impermissibly disclosed.

And Here’s Another One…
Kaiser Permanente Suffers a Data Breach that may Impact 13.4M Members
A Kaiser Permanente Health Plan data breach in mid-April affected 13.4 million members in what the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services called the largest confirmed health-related breach so far this year. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, which operates as Kaiser Permanente, is one of the leading U.S. health care providers.
Companies covered by HIPAA are required to notify HHS of data breaches involving protected health information, such as medical data and patient records. The company submitted the required documentation to the agency on April 12, and the notice was posted publicly last week. Kaiser spokesperson Diana Yee said the organization would begin notifying affected current and former members and patients who accessed its websites and mobile apps. The notifications will start in May in all markets in which Kaiser Permanente operates. California-based Kaiser also notified its state attorney general of the breach.
