Congress finds the following: Covered assets are increasingly the targets of malicious cyberattacks, which result not only in data breaches, but also increased healthcare delivery costs, and can ultimately affect patient health outcomes. Data reported to the Department shows that large cyber breaches of the information systems of healthcare facilities rose 93 percent between 2018 to 2022 . According to data from the Office for Civil Rights of the Department, health information breaches have increased since 2016, and in 2022 alone, the Department reported 626 breaches on covered entities, as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ( Public Law 104–191 ), affecting more than 500 people, with nearly 42,000,000 total people affected by health information breaches.
