Episode description
Identity theft is a real concern for ER docs due to high patient interaction volume. Consider the reality that accessing an EP’s signature can open up opportunities to obtain medications or allow for other financially-driven motives. Combine this with other variables, such as higher income and thus higher credit limits and a busy lifestyle that may prevent them from noticing identity theft schemes, it’s no mystery as to why ER docs as a subset of professionals are prime targets.
On today’s episode, we’ll discuss a large data breach that impacted most Americans and lay out the things you can do today to prevent fraud happening tomorrow.
