Common use of Security and privacy breaches Clause in Contracts

Security and privacy breaches. The security and privacy of sensitive patient information is an urgent risk for any healthcare institution, but especially for those facilities heavily vested in telemedicine services. For example, the constant transmission of patient records or treatment over wireless networks is susceptible to hacking and other security breaches; and patient records or sessions are potentially accessible to more people than medical staff because IT teams are involved with the maintenance and operations of telemedicine networks.
