The document summarizes healthcare as an identity thief's "superstore" due to the large amount of personal health information (PHI) that is lost or stolen each year. In 2015, over 111 million healthcare records were lost or stolen, impacting 35% of the US population. 47% of healthcare organizations experienced a HIPAA breach between 2015-2016. PHI has a black market value of $50-350 per record but is worth less than $1 when sold in bulk. The widespread adoption of electronic health records has increased convenience but also risk, as EHRs contain vast amounts of digitized private data. Protecting individuals' health information is important as stolen data could potentially be one's own.
