Nashville, TN. (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Data protection and identity theft response leader Kroll Fraud Solutions and HIMSS Analytics will host two webinars based on the findings of a new study that addresses patient data safety in the United States.

According to the report, it is a significant blind spot that hinders hospital efforts to contain the problem and reduce the risk.

A panel of healthcare and patient data security risk experts will review the report's key findings and offer expert advice on how to fight back against one of the industry's biggest threats.

Panelists include:

• Dr. Brian Klepper, Contributing Editor, The Healthcare Blog; formerly of the Center for Practical Health Reform
• Brian Lapidus, Chief Operating Officer, Kroll Fraud Solutions
• Lisa Gallagher, Senior Director of Policy and Privacy, HIMSS
