at the. The breach report for:

I I've, I've heard some people say essentially, I don't want to know where my Phi is, because if I know where it is, I have to do something about it. I think that is negligence. I, I, you know, I believe that as CEOs, we should really focus in on what we need to do to protect our patients' information. As much as possible, not only for the good of our organization, but definitely for the good of our patients. Right. And so there are, there are great tools. There are tools out there that is going to identify where your Phi is. , we've. Interviewed the guys over a task site, they have a great set of tools that they have, where they can identify where your Phi is, but then it takes not only identifying it, but put, putting together. The process and the tools and the mechanism for, , protecting that data. But the first thing is you have to find it. So you find it and then you have to have the systems to protect it.

So there's, there's a lot of tools and things we can put in place, but this is one of those things that's just basic blocking and tackling. Find it, if you need a tool to find it use towel site, if you, , have the ability wherewithal to find it yourself, and as you are finding it, To remediate it. Then by all means do that. This has to be a standard operating procedure. And that's, that's my takeaway from this article act as if they're already on your network, because they probably are. All right. That's all for today.
