It’s huge, and serious.

Its implications may impact millions, even beyond the halls of healthcare. In fact, it’s the eighth-largest healthcare-related cybersecurity breach in U.S. history.

In Texas alone, 15.4 million residents were involved – nearly half the state’s population. Oregon reports another 10.5 million. Other states are still notifying residents. The final number may climb even higher. The stolen data reportedly includes names, Social Security Numbers, medical information, and health insurance details.

Reporting the details of this enormous data breach during the next episode of Talk Ten Tuesdays will be the legendary Rose Dunn, former president of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:

  • POV: Penny Jefferson, Director of Coding & Clinical Documentation Integrity Services for the University of Davis Medical Center, will share her point of view during the broadcast.
  • CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson will provide an update on clinical documentation integrity (CDI).
